Abstract

The ease of obtaining and disseminating information whose truth has not been verified on social media has the potential to give rise to misleading and misconceptions in science learning, uncertainty, and even detrimental social impacts, such as conflict or other detrimental things. This study aimed to describe students’ ability to explain socio-scientific issue that are obtained and spread on social or digital media platforms. As 70 students were involved voluntarily in the survey on the ability to explore socio-scientific issues (SSI), explain SSI, and take appropriate decisions and actions based on SSI information. Data collected through surveys using a worksheet and rubrics were analyzed descriptively, namely percentage analysis according to the specified categories (high, medium and low). The research results show that students can identify, define and explain aspects of science that are written explicitly in SSI news but have difficulty with those that are related but not written in SSI. As a result, students have difficulty explaining SSI, taking ap-propriate decisions and actions. Guided ideation strategies can help students connect with SSI science but require a process to construct their knowledge.
