——The study aimed to determine the profile of the respondents in terms of sex and age, evaluate the level of scientific literacy and critical thinking ability, and propose a learning development plan to enhance these skills. The descriptive research method was employed to collect data without manipulating variables. The sample size was determined using Slovin’s formula, resulting in 219 students. The study employed a fishbowl method for random sampling. The study found a balanced distribution of male and female participants. The students demonstrated a satisfactory level of scientific literacy and critical thinking ability. The proposed action plan aims to enhance these skills through training sessions, targeted modules, project-based learning, and an assessment system. The plan focuses on improving students’ ability to articulate concepts, evaluate information, understand ethical considerations, and develop teamwork skills. The expected outcomes include measurable progress and increased student engagement in scientific reasoning and problem-solving. It also presents a proposed action plan to improve these skills, which includes training sessions, targeted modules, project-based learning, and an assessment system. The study recommends curriculum developers, educators, students, and future researchers in the field of science education to put importance of critical thinking skills, effective communication, diverse teaching strategies, and active student participation in scientific education. Furthermore, it suggests conducting longitudinal studies to track students’ development over time and identify effective strategies for promoting scientific literacy and lifelong learning.
