“…To make rationalistic reasoning, either rejecting or accepting, the respondent must have good knowledge (Milbourne & Wiebe, 2018;Puig et al, 2020;Wu, 2013). In making decisions or preparing arguments, good knowledge has a vital role.…”

“…In making decisions or preparing arguments, good knowledge has a vital role. It is also the same as content knowledge, and conceptual understanding deeply affects argument preparation (Puig et al, 2020). It can be understood that knowledge of an issue or problem is needed in making decisions or solving iil-structured and structured problems (Milbourne & Wiebe, 2018).…”

This research was conducted to overcome the lack of integration of socio-scientific issues (SSI) at the Mandalika University of Education, especially the biology education department, and at the same time as a springboard for developing teaching programs. This basic qualitative research aims to identify and explain informal reasoning patterns of biology prospective teachers. In this study, 14 biology prospective teachers as samples were selected purposively, namely students who had taken animal physiology, genetics, and evolution courses. Furthermore, semi-structured interviews using thematic techniques focused on issues of common descent, GMOs, and organ transplants. The findings and conclusions of this study indicate that intuitive and emotive reasoning is the reasoning patterns most used by our respondents in responding to SSI issues. Then, for further research, it is stated briefly in the recommendations section.

A healthy diet starting in the early years of life is essential for the development of physical and mental wellbeing. As has been shown by research conducted internationally, students’ knowledge about nutrition is correlated with their eating habits. The present study aims to investigate Greek adolescent students’ knowledge of nutrition concepts. Specifically, because of the lack of similar research about Greek adolescents, we sought a first mapping of trends so that in the future we could design appropriately oriented teaching interventions. The survey was conducted through a questionnaire, and involved 269 students aged 15–16 years from schools across Athens. The results showed that while the students’ knowledge of some aspects of nutrition seems to be quite good, knowledge of other aspects is extremely poor. Furthermore, even when relatively proficient about nutrition, some participants ignored that knowledge in their daily lives. According to the students, the main sources of information on nutrition issues are their parents and the internet, followed by school. These findings indicate a need to focus on designing coherent educational proposals on nutrition concepts, which are not only important for their own sake, but also for the sake of long-term health.
