Gender-based and grade-level mapping of student genetic literacy in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in the face-to-face
teaching and learning process being shifted to distance
learning which has the potential to affect student literacy
levels. This quantitative study aims to determine the effect of
gender and grade level on the genetic literacy of high school
students in Malang. This survey research used a statement
instrument as many as 17 items involving 97 students. Data
collection was carried out from November to December 2021.
The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling.
The research data was tested using a Two-Way ANOVA
analysis. The results showed that gender did not have a
significant effect on genetic literacy, while class level has
significant effect. Furthermore, gender and class level did not
have a significant interaction. Further research that examines
the effect of other variables on genetic literacy needs to be
done.
