Abstract
The research aimed to know the tendency of understanding the science literacy in the 2nd Fundamental Physics lesson for students of physics teacher prospective in the Physics Education program of FKIP UST of academic year 2016/2017. The research implemented in the Physics Education program of FKIP UST Yogyakarta in the even semester of the 2016/2017 academic year. The populations of this research were 48 students of Physics Education program of FKIP UST that studied about 2nd Fundamental Physics lesson in the even semester of the 2016/2017 academic year, all members of the population became the sample of the research, thus this research was a case study. The instruments used in this research were the test of understanding the science literacy in the 2nd Fundamental Physics lesson (static electricity, dynamic electricity, magnetic field). In the data collecting, the researcher used a test technique. In the analyzing the data, the researcher used descriptively by comparing the average score obtained by the student with criteria of normal idea curve. Based on the result of the research, it showed that the tendency of understanding science literacy in the 2nd Fundamental Physics lesson for students of physics teacher candidate in the Physics education program study of FKIP UST of the 2016/2017 academic year are in the medium category. Each subject of static electricity is the medium category and dynamic electricity and magnetic field are the lowest categories.
