ABSTRACT
Ethnoscientific literacy is related to the ability to explain a cultural context scientifically. Pacu Jalur
is a long boat rowing competition that is a hereditary tradition of the Malay people who occupy
the area along the Kuantan River in Riau Province, Indonesia. Pacu Jalur is most popular with the
local community because involves many people in the process of making the boat, preparing for
the event, and ten of thousand people watching local or national competition events. We wanted
to identify the extent to which this tradition had an impact on students’ ethnoscientific literacy.
For this purpose, we have surveyed 480 high school students who live around the Kuantan River
using an ethnoscientific literacy test. The result showed that the ethnoscientific literacy of students
living in this area is unsatifactory and no significant differences identified between male and
female students. We have also identified a positive impact of the atmosphere event on students’
ethnoscientific literacy.
