A Systematic Literature Review of Socioscientific Issues in Science Education: Integration and Instructional Effect in Science Learning
Keywords:
Socioscientific, Science Learning, Integration and Instructional EffectAbstract
Socioscientific issues (SSI) have become a familiar topic in science education. Research on SSI is widely found in various literature, highlighting its growing importance. This review aims to analyze and categorize the development of SSI over the past seven years, including its integration and contribution to science learning and its impact on learners. Employing the 4-step PRISMA-P process, this review identified 74 relevant journal articles from the Scopus Open Access database. The findings reveal that these 74 articles, drawn from 43 Scopus journals, predominantly cover ecosystems and environmental change, biotechnology, energy sources, and biodiversity. Standard learning components used to support SSI in science education include various methods, approaches, models, and teaching media. This review also notes the dominant involvement of learners in SSI education, with instructional and follow-up impacts reflected in their knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Therefore, integrating SSI topics into science education is crucial for learners to understand scientific issues impacting social life.
