There are seven indicators of scientific attitudes: curiosity, respect for data/facts, critical thinking, discovery and creativity, open-mindedness and cooperation, perseverance, and sensitivity to the environment. Scientific attitudes correlate with productivity. However, the relation between productivity and each scientific attitude indicator is unexplored. This study aims to determine the effect of scientific attitude indicators on undergraduate and postgraduate (master’s and doctoral) students’ productivity. The research method used was quantitative with a correlation approach. Data was collected using questionnaires distributed via Google Forms. The research respondents were randomly selected by distributing Google Forms in the WhatsApp group. The respondents of this study totaled 101 respondents consisting of 44 bachelor’s students, 50 master’s students, and 7 doctoral students. From the research results, the indicators of scientific attitude that correlate with bachelor students’ productivity are respect for data/facts, critical thinking, as well as discovery and creativity. Meanwhile, indicators of scientific attitude that correlate with postgraduate students’ productivity are curiosity, respect for data/facts, critical thinking, discovery and creativity, and perseverance. The overall scientific attitudes obtained a significance level of 0.050, indicating a significant correlation between the scientific attitude indicator and bachelor students’ productivity. The significance level of the scientific attitude toward the productivity of postgraduate students is 0.003, so there is a significant correlation between scientific attitudes toward the productivity of postgraduate students. This study concludes that the effect of a scientific attitude on the productivity of postgraduate students is greater than that of undergraduate students. Hence, scientific attitudes influence students’ productivity. © 2023 Science Education Study Program FMIPA UNNES Semarang.
