Abstract

The present research aimed at preparing a program in the issues related to Gene Editing applications based on socio-scientific inquiry-based learning (SSIBL) and investigating its effectiveness for developing the scientific argumentation   and decision making skills towards these Issues of Biology Section Students at the Faculty of Education. The quasi-experimental design has been used and as a result, only one group has been chosen for the post-application of the study instruments. The program has been administered on a group of male and female students (n =30) enrolled at the Biology  Section at Faculty of Education, Benha. The study instruments were the scientific argumentation test and the decision-making scale. The findings showed that there were statistically significant differences (0.01) between the students' scores means in the pre-testing and those in the post-testing on both the test of scientific argumentation and the decision-making scale. Consequently, the program was effective in developing the scientific argumentation and decision making skills of Biology Section Students at the Faculty of Education.
