“…That being said, in today's Post-Truth era, issues like how we can survive the pandemics such as the COVID-19, which can affect all people living in the world at the same time, rather than attaining academic success, has inevitably taken over the priority order. Scientists predict that we will be facing more epidemics from now on (Karpudewan & Chan, 2020). The key to success in survival is to turn the right decisions into behavior using the necessary scientific knowledge.…”

In this study, the relationship between pre-service teachers' critical thinking dispositions and their attitudes towards socioscientific issues was examined. Relational survey method, which is one of the quantitative research approaches, was used in the research process. 813 pre-service teachers from science, mathematics, preschool, psychological counseling and guidance, social sciences, classroom teaching, and fine arts departments studying at education faculties in state universities in the Black Sea Region of Turkey participated in the research. Critical thinking disposition and attitude scales were used as data collection tools in the research. The findings were examined by considering the variables of gender, class level, knowledge about socioscientific issues and the department of education. In the analysis of the data obtained, the results for each scale were first divided into groups as low, medium and high scores. Variables with two categories were analyzed using the independent samples t-test, and variables with more than two categories were analyzed using the ANOVA test. Then, multiple linear regression analyses were performed. Hayes's ( 2018) regression model number 1 was used to confirm the research results and to support it with advanced statistics. As a result of the research, it was determined that the preservice teachers with low and medium critical thinking dispositions also had low attitudes towards socioscientific issues and sub-variables did not make a significant difference. At this point, some suggestions can be made to pre-service teachers with a low and medium level of critical thinking disposition. It can be ensured that they participate in project activities on socioscientific issues during the training process. It can be ensured that courses within the scope of critical and analytical thinking are taken. It has also been determined that the preservice teachers with high critical thinking disposition have high attitudes towards socioscientific issues, and there is a significant difference in terms of the variables of the department, grade level and having knowledge about socioscientific issues.

“…It is challenging to achieve this after health problems such as epidemics occur. Therefore, we should be aware that there is a higher probability of a more dangerous outbreak than the COVID-19 pandemic itself, which we are currently being exposed to (Karpudewan & Chan, 2020). We need to realise the urgent need to increase scientific literacy among the general public and school-age children in particular (Powell, 2021).…”

“…Instead of vaccination, which is one of the most important and successful public health interventions for the prevention of infectious diseases (Andre et al, 2008;Salerno et al, 2019), if we are to wait for the COVID-19 outbreak to end with herd immunity, we may need to tolerate millions of deaths. To successfully deal with the present pandemic or a different epidemic that is likely to occur later (Karpudewan & Chan, 2020), we need to be aware that we have no other way than to refer to science. For this, it is necessary to raise society's awareness, especially that of students, and to increase scientific literacy.…”

“…The importance of this was found in the educational recommendations made by organisations such as the American Science Development Association (AAAS) and the National Research Council (NRC) (Kolstø, 2001). Studies have also emphasised that the gradual implementation of socioscientific issues activities in the classroom improves students' decision-making based on scientific evidence (Karpudewan & Chan, 2020). The importance of socioscientific issues for science education has been accepted in many countries, and such issues have taken place in primary and high school programs to create this decision-making situation as desired (Topcu, 2019).…”

With the pandemic, conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 began to spread rapidly in the virtual environment. It is not difficult for these conspiracy theories to replace scientific knowledge, particularly those with low scientific literacy. This study aimed to examine whether there is a relationship between university students' attitudes towards socioscientific issues (viz. their views on conspiracy theories) and their views on the COVID-19 process and vaccination. 1275 university students from different universities studying at various departments participated in the study. “The Attitude Scale towards Socioscientific Issues" developed by Topcu (2010) and the "COVID-19 process and Vaccination Questionnaire" developed by the researchers consisting of 20 questions were used as data collection tools in the study. In analysing the data obtained from the application, the continuous variables with two categories were analysed using the independent groups' t-test since the research data showed normal distribution and provided the preconditions. A one-way ANOVA test was used in the analysis of continuous variables with more than two categories. The chi-square test was used in the analysis of categorical variables, and a multinominal logistic regression was performed when examining the relationship between main variables and categorical variables. As a result of the analysis, it was observed that students with a high attitude towards socioscientific issues were more scientifically oriented to conspiracy theories, the existence of the COVID-19 and its origin, and their ideas about vaccination were more positive. In the post-pandemic period, a restructuring of science education in which socioscientific issues are concentrated upon to increase health literacy and scientific literacy arguably appears urgent.

Di PAUD Yasmin sendiri selain melalui kegiatan pembelajaran, proses penerapan niali religiositas pendidikan karakter dilakukan melalui kegiatan pembudayaan dan kegiatan pembiasaan yang diterapkan kepada peserta didik untuk lebih mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan yang Maha Esa (Karpudewan, 2022;Khadijah, 2021;Komalasari, 2020;Saregar, 2019;Sujarwo, 2020;Yudhar, 2021). Kegiatan tersebut antaralain kegiatan rutin, spontan dan keteladanan.…”

This study is an educational analysis aimed at shaping the attitudes and behavior of children to become good and morally upright individuals. The purpose of this research is to understand the implementation of religious character values for early childhood in PAUD Yasmin, Jember Regency. The research is of a qualitative descriptive type and employs data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The research findings regarding the implementation of religious character values for young children by teachers in the learning activities include the use of visual media, videos, and storytelling. In the application of religious character values for the early childhood group, this is achieved through daily routines such as Dhuha prayers, reciting prayers, memorizing short verses, and Quranic recitation. For the Playgroup age group, the application of religious character values is also carried out through daily routines, including Dhuha prayers, memorizing short verses, and reciting prayers. In the case of the Islamic Education Group (TPA), this is done through daily routines involving reciting prayers, memorizing short verses, and singing Islamic children's songs. In conclusion, the implementation of religious character values for young children can be integrated into the learning activities and further developed through self-improvement and character building for young children in their daily lives.
