As a result of the research, it wasfound out that most of the science teachers had not heard of the concept of SSI (socioscientificissues) before. It was seen that teachers who did not have knowledge about SSIgenerally defined it as scientific issues that concern society and had difficulty in givingexamples. It was determined that most of the teachers did not know to which learning area inthe science curriculum SSI belonged. Teachers who stated that they mostly use the directinstruction, case study and discussion methods in the teaching of SSI in science courseemphasised that the SSI teaching process makes positive contributions to the development ofstudent skills like critical thinking, decision making and communication.
