ABSTRACT

This study aimed to design a teaching model to enhance scientific literacy self-efficacy among university students, apply it in actual classes, and evaluate its effectiveness through pre- and post-diagnosis analysis. The results indicated a significant improvement in self-efficacy related to the acquisition and application of scientific knowledge in real-life situations, as well as in critical thinking skills for assessing the validity of scientific claims and information. Notably, students expressed high self-efficacy in the scientific thinking and problem-solving skills required in modern society. The significance of this study lies in its provision of specific teaching strategies for liberal arts education aimed at improving scientific literacy self-efficacy. To achieve this, the study utilized multimedia to engage students and presented scientific topics connected to everyday life, thereby reducing resistance to science and helping students recognize and apply scientific knowledge in their daily lives. The study emphasized that scientific concepts and knowledge are not merely for information transfer but play a crucial role in enhancing critical thinking, decision-making, and real-life application skills in solving everyday problems. Students showed a tendency to connect these scientific insights to their own lives. Future research on scientific literacy self-efficacy should focus on developing and utilizing multifaceted science education programs that foster the ability to understand and apply scientific knowledge within a social context.
