Science teaching in junior high schools should be conducted in integrated form. However, the real condition shows that in implementing integrated science teaching in the schools, there were several problems. The solution of this problem is to develop integrated science teaching materials by integrating real-world context and scientific literacy on Science teachers in East Agam district. The objective of the activity is to assist science teachers in developing integrated science teaching material and apply it in science teaching in the classroom. Participants of program assistance were 40 science teachers who were members of the Science MGMP in East Agam district. The instrument for collecting data consisted of pretest and posttest, performance assessment sheet, and questionnaire sheet of science teachers response. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics analysis and correlated comparison test. Based on the results of data analysis can be stated that: 1). In implementing the program assistance, there are 32 products produced in integrated science worksheet form, 2). The average value of the science teacher's response to the implementation of program assistance for the development of integrated science teaching material can be classified into good category, and 3). The implementation of the program assistance for the development of integrated science teaching material is effective to improve the understanding of science teachers on the material of instructional material, the concept of integrated science learning, and the concept of scientific literacy.

Visual thinking is essential in the development of science. Visual representations are also indispensable when scientists disseminate their findings. This paper discusses the ways that research studies on visual representations can inform science learning and teaching. I start by discussing the ways that drawings, charts and graphics represent their referents, and hence highlighting the affordances of these visual representations. Then I discuss how these affordances make visual representations a valuable tool to support science teaching in formal and informal contexts and, in particular, how learning with media graphics can support the learning of Nature of Science for scientific literacy.

<p>The fundamental issue is the growing use of scientific information possessed by students to solve problems in daily life and produce useful scientific source from scientific literacy. The purpose of the research was to analyze and describe the ability of a student science concepts from the aspect of scientific literacy that includes aspects of scientific knowledge, scientific competence, scientific context as well as the factors that influence the students’ science literacy skills. This research was quantitative descriptive analysis. The instrument used was a matter of objective 40 along with the reasons of the physics concept and biology concepts that are used to measure aspects of scientific knowledge, scientific competence, and scientific context, while the students’ attitudes towards science and science teaching and learning strategies measured by questionnaire instrument. Instruments used included multiple-choice test questions reasoned and questionnaires (the attitude of science and science teaching and learning strategies). Based on data analysis it was known that the ability of science literacy PGSD UMK students varied, 66.2% of students were at the level of nominal and 33.8% of the students were at the functional level. It showed that 66.2% of students already had a concept for connecting science with other disciplines, could write a scientific term, but students still had misconceptions, while 33.8% of students considered the theory and explained concepts correctly, but they had a limited understanding and were difficult to connect to the concept of his own opinion.</p>
