Abstract

Socio-scientific Issues (SSI) are representations in social aspects of important social questions related to science. There were societal concerns, particularly moral, political, social and economic, although there were numerous scientific knowledge and investigative practises. In general, the scientific education community supports the promotion of scientific literacy, but there is a debate about what scientific literacy means. The term "scientific literacy" refers to science's context and its role in the changing world. This study promotes an understanding of scientific literacy that involves negotiating socio-scientific issues. It requires the ability to make socio-scientific decisions. Sociological and ethical implications are socio-scientific issues; therefore, the promotion of scientific literacy requires careful consideration of the moral and ethical implications of sociological issues. Therefore, SSI research and negotiation require science concepts and processes to be integrated into social constructs and practises
