Abstract: Teaching always influences student achievement by influencing student's thought and student perceptions.This study investigates the relationships between student perceptions on science instruction and scientific literacy,in USA, Finland,Japan and Hong Kong,using the Programme for International Students Assessment(PISA)2006 data.The results show that with controlling students backgrounds,student perceptions on science instruction significantly predict scientific literacy.The relationships between student perceptions on science instruction and scientific achievement are similar in USA,Finland,Japan and Hong Kong,which student perception on focusing on application and hand-on activities in classroom are significantly positive predictors,however,student perception on scientific investigation and interaction are significantly negative predictors.There are some cultural diversities in the relationships between student perceptions on science instruction and scientific interesting,which student perception on scientific investigation and interaction are significantly positive predictors in USA and student perception on interaction is significantly positive predictor in Japan.

Key words: student perceptions on science instruction, scientific literacy, PISA2006
