There have been many assessment instruments developed to measure student science literacy. However, literacy measurement instruments that pay attention to various intelligences and are reflected in the context of multiple representations have not been developed much. On the other hand, it is important to give every student the opportunity to succeed at his intelligence level. This study aims to determine the feasibility of a multi-representation based scientific literacy assessment instrument for high school physics on rectilinear motion concept as well as to describe students' scientific literacy skills and the mastery pattern of the rectilinear motion concept measured by the instrument developed. This research is a Research & Development (R&D) research. The test subjects were 262 high school students who had studied rectilinear motion concept in public high schools with A-accreditation. Data analysis conducted were validity test of instruments by experts; empirical test to obtain validity, reliability, difficulty level, and item difference; student responses to test offerings; profile of scientific literacy skills; and the pattern of mastery of the rectilinear motion concept. From the measurement results, it is evident that the profile of the average scientific literacy ability of high school students is still in the unsatisfactory category. The pattern of mastery of the concept of straight motion based on the modes of representation ranging from the most difficult to the easier ones is graphical, pictorial, verbal, and mathematical representations. This data could indicate that learning by practicing literacy skills still can be improved.

In the strict challenges faced by society, a paradigm shift is needed in the education system that can provide a set of 21st century skills needed by students to deal with every aspect of global life. One of them is scientific literacy. Unfortunately, the scientific literacy ability of students in Indonesia is still low. The Inquiry and SETS models have been widely applied to improve students' scientific literacy skills. However, weaknesses are found such as: students still cannot use their content knowledge to explain scientific phenomena perfectly; and the need for more in-depth inquiry activities so that students' abilities in designing and evaluating scientific investigations obtain excellent results. Therefore, innovation was created to develop the BRADeR learning model based on consideration of the strengths and weaknesses of the inquiry model and SETS as well as theoretical and empirical support. This research serves as a preliminary study in the process of developing the BRADeR model to improve students' scientific literacy skills. This study includes a needs analysis and literature review. The results show that innovation can be maintained as a basis for developing a hypothetical model of the BRADeR learning model. The syntax of the BRADeR model includes: brainstorming, reading, analyzing, decision making, and reflection. The hypothetical model of the BRADeR learning model must be tested to meet the aspects of validity, practicality, and effectiveness to improve the scientific literacy skills of junior high school students.
