<![CDATA[Abstract The aims of this study to describe the students biodiversity literacy skills in natural science lectures. The data research from the observation and the test scores. Biodiversity literacy skills indicators were established. Analysis of data using qualitative descriptive methods. The results showed the biodiversity literacy skills are within medium, high and very high criteria. Based on indicators of biodiversity literacy skills, it is in the criteria of being able to define biodiversity and its use, being able to distinguish biodiversity at the gene, species, ecosystem level, and being able to construct solutions to biodiversity problems. This biodiversity literacy skill can encourage the character of concern for biodiversity decline so that students are able to come up with solutions to existing biodiversity problems. Keywords biodiversity literacy skills, science lectures, grounded theory approach. Abstrak Penelitian bertujuan mendeskripsikan keterampilan literasi keanekaragaman hayati mahasiswa pada perkuliahan IPA yang menerapkan model Problem Based Learning. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui observasi dan nilai tes. Ditetapkan enam indikator keterampilan literasi keanekaragaman hayati. Analisis data menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Diperoleh hasil bahwa nilai tes keterampilan literasi keanekaragaman hayati berada dalam kriteria sedang, tinggi dan sangat tinggi. Berdasarkan indikator keterampilan literasi keanekaragaman hayati, berada pada kriteria mampu mendefinisikan keanekaragaman hayati dan pemanfaatannya, mampu membedakan keanekaragaman hayati pada tingkat gen, spesies, ekosistem, dan mampu mengkonstruksi solusi permasalahan keanekaragaman hayati. Keterampilan literasi keanekaragaman hayati inidapat mendorong karakter kepedulian terhadap penurunan keanekaragaman hayati sehingga mahasiswa mampu mengemukakan solusi atas permasalahan keanekaragaman hayati yang ada. Kata kunci keterampilan literasi biodiversitas, perkuliahan IPA, pendekatan grounded theory.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpmipa/v24i1.pp50-58]]>
