“…The fact that STs can assess the nuclear power plants issue mostly through its economic, environmental, social/cultural dimensions suggests that they can take it under consideration partially through multifaceted aspects. As researchers realized with science teachers are limited (Kenar, 2013;Lee & Yang, 2013), conclusions of a few studies realized with the teachers and pre-service science teachers that are known as the closest working group are similar to the conclusions of these researchers. Lee and Yang (2013) have found out that technology teachers in Taiwan mostly do not support the construction of nuclear power plants in Taiwan and they prefer to benefit from clean, renewable energy sources such as wind and sun.…”

“…There are researchers that take into consideration the related attitude and point of views of the pre-service science teachers (e.g. Ates & Saracoğlu, 2013;Cansız & Cansız, 2015;Ercan, Ural & Tekbıyık, 2015;Eş, Işık Mercan & Ayas, 2016;Evren Yapıcıoğlu & Aycan, 2018;Kapici & Ilhan, 2016;Özdemir & Çobanoğlu, 2008;Özdemir, 2014;Yener, Aksüt & Somuncu Demir, 2017), teachers (Kenar, 2013;Lee & Yang, 2013) and students (Jho et al, 2014;Wu & Tsai, 2007;Yang & Anderson, 2003) towards nuclear power plants. A limited number of research was conducted with teachers (Kenar, 2013;Lee & Yang, 2013).…”

“…Society does not have sufficient information about power plants and especially nuclear energy. Today, preference should be given to renewable energy rather than fossil fuels and nuclear power plants [39,[51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58].…”

Many new concepts have been constructed by associating many familiar concepts such as tourism, energy, agriculture and development to the term of sustainability. Some of them are; sustainable development, sustainable agriculture and sustainable tourism etc. Undoubtedly, sustainability is mentioned in many areas such as media, politics, economics and academia. This concept is tried to be gained through the information and practices provided about sustainability to the individuals who make up the society. It is known that sustainability in science education is not evaluated with a holistic approach from the perspective of economy, ecology and energy. If it is assumed that individuals have not theoretical background and culture about sustainability, there can be thought that they will have problem for sustainable lifestyle. Therefore, it can be said that theoretical and practical studies which will help individuals are important in order to a more livable World. The purpose of this study is to construct broad a conceptual framework upon renewable energy policies from the sustainability perspective by linking the terms of economy, ecology and energy known in the literature as 3E. In the method of this research, firstly sustainability is examined from a holistic approach and was developed a model. Then starting from sustainability, socio-scientific issues, production, wastes, ecology, sociology, feminism, cultures, developmental differences, energy production, energy storage and transportation, the renewable ones, photosynthesis, biomass and pyrolysis are connected and interrelated in holistic manner by considering chemistry and politics. In the result of the research, it is arisen that conservative and elder women who is the ability to be happy while consuming less which must be followed and obeyed. By this way, new insights can be obtained and deduced for better inhabitable world peacefully.

Atom çekirdeğinin parçalanmasına bağlı olarak açığa çıkan ısı enerjisinin, teknoloji vasıtasıyla kontrol edilmesi sonucu elde edilen enerji türü olan nükleer enerjinin en yaygın kullanım alanlarından bir tanesi elektrik üretimidir. Bununla birlikte nükleerin sağlık alanından arkeolojiye kadar pek çok farklı ve birbiriyle ilişkisiz görülen alanlarda da kullanımı söz konusudur. Bu araştırmada, çalışma grubunun belirlenmesi, ele alınan konu alanı, veri toplama aracı, uygulama süreci ve verilerin analizi boyutlarında nitel metodoloji esas alınmıştır. Araştırma yöntemi olarak ise durum çalışması tercih edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada fen bilimleri öğretmenlerinin nükleer bilimi ile ilgili bilgi ve uygulama becerilerinin geliştirilmesinin amaçlandığı bir TÜBİTAK projesi üzerinden elde edilen veriler sunulmuştur. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu 23 fen bilimleri öğretmeninden oluşmaktadır. Proje kapsamında katılımcılara nükleer bilimlere ve teknolojilere yönelik beş günlük bir eğitim düzenlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak gerek fen bilimleri öğretim programı (2018) kazanımları içerinde yer almasına gerekse de ülkemiz ve dünya genelinde güncel bir sosyobilimsel konu olmasına rağmen fen bilimleri öğretmenlerinin “nükleer” ile ilgili olarak istenilen düzeyde bilgiye sahip olmadıkları, bilgi kaynağı olarak ise bilimsel kaynaklardan daha fazla medyayı kullandıkları, gerçekleştirilen etkinlikler yoluyla katılımcıların konu ile ilgili bilgi kaynakları ve düzeyleri ile düşünceleri üzerinde olumlu bir değişimin yaşandığı görülmüştür. Bu bulgulara dayanarak benzer hizmet içi eğitim faaliyetlerinin mümkünse daha uzun sürelerle yaygınlaştırılması ve desteklenmesi önerilmektedir.
