Students’ reasoning and decision making about a socioscientific issue: a cross-context comparison
It has been argued that decision making about socioscientific issue (SSIs)necessitates informal reasoning, which involves multiperspective thinking and moral judgment. This study extends the scope of the literature concerning students’ reasoning on SSIs to a cross-contextual study by comparing decis...
