less appeal to anthropocentric values and showed a
greater inclination toward a perspective of

students could make socio-scientific decision making
after the curriculum implementations were
significantly different at 0.05 above the cut-off score
of the socio-scientific decision ability test. Lee and
Grace [11] found that in different contexts, students
had shared different perspectives on reasoning,
evidence of data collection, decision criteria along
with some decision making behavior in solving
similar socio-scientific issues. Yu [21] explained that
socio-scientific issues could support the learning of
science in relation to morality and ethics along with
enhancing the student’s obvious ability in ethical
terms and other elements that influence their lives;
such as an export of electronic waste to poor
developing countries, etc. This points out that
morality has an important role in a student’s decision
making.
