Scientific literacy is one of the crucial skills nec-essary for making informed decisions and eval-uating evidence. Despite the fact that the overall results of Slovak students in scientific literacy are lower than the average for OECD countries, there is still a lack of interventions focusing explicitly on fostering scientific literacy in the educational system. Therefore, this literature review aims to determine: 1. types of interven-tions that can be used to foster scientific literacy; 2. the main features of interventions responsible for their effectiveness. Authors conducted a con-tent analysis of 40 empirical scientific papers, focusing on two aspects of scientific literacy: scientific reasoning ability and attitudes toward science. The study indicates that scientific rea-soning ability can be effectively improved with the interventions focused on 1. scientific argu-mentation; 2. understanding nature of science; 3. process of scientific discovery. Interventions focused on improving attitudes toward science share similar characteristics as interventions fo-cused on scientific reasoning and can be classi-fied similarly. Other aspects, such as the level of guidance, teaching strategy, gender, and domain of the intervention can also play an important role.
