In 21st century learning, students are expected to master various important skills to adapt to the rapid development of the times. One of these skills is scientific literacy. The purpose of this study is to improve the level of scientific literacy in junior high school students, especially on the topic of measuring nutritional status in Indonesia. This study used a pre-experiment method involving students in grades VII-1 and VII-4 at SMPN 21 Malang as samples. The instruments used included a pretest and posttest designed to measure students' scientific literacy level. The learning process used the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. Based on the results of the study, the level of scientific literacy of students is classified as moderate. The indicator that shows the highest improvement is ability to research, evaluate, and use scientific information for decision-making and action. In second place is explaining phenomena scientifically, and in third place is building and evaluating designs for scientific investigations and critically interpreting scientific data and evidence. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
