Sažetak
Although subject curricula that promote the development of scientific literacy have been present in Croatian education for five years, the results of external evaluations indicate insufficient development of this literacy among pupils. This highlights the relevance of researching this topic, and the aim of this study is to determine how much scientific literacy is developed during the teaching of Biology to 8th-grade pupils. For the purposes of the research, the original teaching observation form (OZON form) was analyzed and modified, and video recordings of lessons taught by seven teachers who teach Biology in the 8th grade were analyzed using this form. The results of the video analysis indicate an insufficient presence of activities and stimuli that promote the development of scientific literacy. Since scientific literacy is a complex construct that encompasses various knowledge and skills, teaching for its development requires diverse stimuli to actively engage pupils, from involving them in inquiry and reasoning to self-assessment. Therefore, the original form, with the proposed modifications, is a valuable tool for the (self-)evaluation of teaching aimed at promoting pupils' scientific literacy and for guiding teachers' professional development.
