Abstract


Scientific literacy needs to be developed in the school as the primary goal of science education. The purpose of the research is to describe the scientific literacy profile of non-science undergraduate student in Universitas Negeri Surabaya. The research is a qualitative descriptive study using observation and questionnaire for collecting the data. The sample of the study was 73 first-year non-science students from Universitas Negeri Surabaya. Based on the data analysis, it was known that the scientific literacy of non-science undergraduate student is below average, that is, 49.31. The fact that Indonesia was Tsunami disaster in Aceh (2004) and Palu (2018) did not stimulate student curiosity about this disaster. This phenomenon leads the student low scientific literacy in Universitas Negeri Surabaya. The student assumes Surabaya has little risk to have Tsunami, so they think not to need to study about Tsunami.
