Introduction
The world today is confronted with many socio-scientific and technological issues. Presley et al. (2013) defined socio-scientific issues as open-ended social problems with substantive connections to science. Zeidler and Nichols (2009) considered them as controversial in nature that require a degree of moral reasoning or “the evaluation of ethical concerns in the process of arriving at decisions regarding possible resolution of those issues.” Sadler (2004) indicated that such issues are personally meaningful, require the use of evidence-based reasoning, and provide a context for understanding scientific information. These issues include climate change, use of nuclear power and gene therapy, human cloning, and the production of genetically modified organisms.
On the other hand, technological issues have been associated with the development and use of...
