Abstract
Scientific literacy is one of the competencies which is evaluated in the OECD's programme for international student assessment. This research aimed to investigate the direct and indirect effects of engagement of science activity and inquiry-based learning on scientific literacy that learning enjoyment as mediating variables in the multilevel model. This study focused on 8,249 students in Thailand by using secondary data from PISA 2015 database and analyzed by multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) with MPLUS. The main results revealed that this multilevel scientific literacy model fit very well with empirical data (χ2 (10, N = 8249) = 47.663, p < .001, RMSEA = .021, SRMRw = .007, SRMRb = .008). In school level, the effect of learning enjoyment on scientific literacy was high. Furthermore, learning enjoyment was a full mediator in the effect of engagement of science activity on scientific literacy. However, learning enjoyment was not a mediator in the effect of inquiry-based learning on scientific literacy.
