Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the sustainability concept in the framework of prospective teachers on female reproductive system materials to improve the ability of students' science literacy. The study used two classes which are selected randomly as an experimental class, in one of the local high school in Grobogan District. Biology teacher candidates integrate the three aspects of sustainability those are socio-cultural, economic, and environmental in PCK as seen in the CoRe document, learning tools and female reproductive system as learning's material. Students have to answer science literacy questions before and after learning session. Science literacy abilities use level 1 to level 3. The answer scores consist of three assessment criteria, namely "full credit" = score 3, "partial credit" = scores 1 and 2, and "no credit" = 0. This study shows that the context of sustainability in prospective teacher PCKs on female reproductive system materials can increase the average score of the students. In line with the higher level of abilities will lead to a higher percentage in full credit achievement. However, the higher level of achievement still results in lower full credit.
