Students must be equipped with various 21st century competencies such as scientific literacy by not leaving the local culture around them to face challenges in the era of disruption 4.0. Therefore, the design of innovative learning models based on local culture to improve scientific literacy needs to be applied. One of the learning models that is suspected to be able to improve scientific literacy is the project learning model with an integrated STEM approach to Ethnoscience (PjBL-Ethno-STEM). This study aims to analyze the effect of the application of PjBL-ethnoSTEM on increasing student scientific literacy which includes aspects of content, competence and attitudes towards science. This research is an experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design. The data collection technique uses tests and questionnaires that have been validated by experts. The data collected were analyzed using a t test. The results of the paired t sample for the experimental and control group data had a p value of 0.000<0.025. This shows that there is a significant difference between the mean N-gain of the control group and the experimental group. Based on the results of these calculations, PjBL-ethnoSTEM applied to the experimental group can improve scientific literacy better than learning carried out in the control group. In the aspect of content, competencies, and students' attitudes towards science, the experimental group is higher than the control group. © 2023 Author(s).
