Abstract | This study investigates the reasons for science teachers' tendencies to teach socio-scientific issues in their classrooms. Teaching social problems is highly recommended in science education to increase student understanding of economical, environmental, political, and ethical issues in science. Results indicate that teachers show a positive attitude toward teaching socially controversial scientific issues. Further research is recommended to identify teachers' identities to determine how they place themselves in society. (Contains 13 references.) (YDS) |
