This research aimed to study grade 12 students’ decision making process in physics learning about Nuclear Physics through Yuenyong (2006) science technology and society (STS) approach. The participants were 40, grade 12 students in Naraikhampongwitthaya school in Surin, Thailand, 1st semester of 2010 academic year. The subjects were derived into two student groups: excellent and poor ability. This qualitative research regarded interpretive paradigm. Research instruments included intervention instrument and data collection instrument. Intervention instruments included (1) the lesson plan of Nuclear Physics through Yuenyong (2006) science technology and society (STS) approach and (2) a behavioral code recording for ISPED decision making process which adapted from Jung and Nam (2004). Data collection instruments included (1) participant observation, (2) informal interview, (3) journal writing and (4) students’ tasks.
The findings revealed that decision making process of each student group has been changed to look more stable because they have experienced in working groups. In the unit Atomic for Peace and unit Safe for Radioactivity, the excellent and poor ability group are different decision making process and did not proceed regarding to as specified by ISPED decision making process. In unit Nuclear Power Plant in Thailand, all group are similar decision making process and proceed regarding to as specified by ISPED decision making process. The paper will shows that the students apply knowledge of science, technology and society to decisions.
