Improving Covid-19 literacy in Webinar–based science learning

The purpose of this study is to analyze and improve Covid-19 literacy in webinar-based science learning. This research is a quantitative study conducted in the Primary School Teacher Education Study Program at PGRI University Yogyakarta with research subjects of 100 students divided into two classes. Observations in the learning process show that some students have difficulty in formulating problems because when conducting literacy studies they do not work with their classmates so students have difficulty understanding the material by applying webinar-based science learning. The data analysis in this study used average frequency tests for Covid-19 literacy mastery analysis, t-test tests, and score tests to analyze the improvement of Covid-19 literacy before and after study. The results of the data analysis showed that > 80 percent of students have mastered aspects and indicators of Covid-19 literacy with an average mastery of 86.00. The T test results showed the number of t = 5,279 > t table = 1,998, which means that there are differences in Covid-19 literacy before and after studying webinar-based science. Based on the results of the score test, N scores were obtained by 0.76 and 0.71, which means a high increase in Covid-19 literacy after studying webinar-based science. Based on the results of the scores obtained from students, it can be concluded that webinar-based science learning makes students feel interested and easy to learn science materials related to Covid-19.
