Science literacy among elementary school students remains a challenge, and studies on the use of Smart TVs in biology instruction are scarce. This study examined the effectiveness of Smart TVs as a biology teaching medium on the science literacy skills of sixth-grade students regarding the topic of human growth and development. A one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design was applied to 22 students at SD Negeri 5 Pandesari using a 30-item multiple-choice test based on PISA competencies. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk test, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, effect sizes, and N-Gain. The average score increased from 63.18 to 80.00 (Z = -4.120; p < 0.001; r = 0.88), and all students achieved a moderate N-Gain (average 0.47). This research indicate that the use of Smart TVs as a biology learning medium is moderately effective in improving students’ science literacy skills.
