摘要:This study aims to determine the role of worldview perspective on science students’ decision?making process by a socio-scientific issue-based instruction through an integrated ScienceTechnology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. Understanding the decision-makingprocess in complex themed learning is one of the most important instruments in understandingthe way students think. The participants were one hundred and nine junior-high-school studentsfrom two different schools. Furthermore, the method used was a pre-experimental design withtwo collective groups, namely the pre-and posttest, starting with an educational study design. Theresults showed that there was a different perspective pattern based on the worldview perspectiveon students’ initial decisions. Furthermore, interventions with socio-scientific issues (SSI) basedinstruction through integrated STEM education provided significant dynamics of change in thefinal science decision made by the students on the basis of a worldview perspective and gender.Some practical implications were extremely discussed, such as the crucial role of the teacherduring a complex lesson topic. Therefore, this study makes an indispensable contribution to thedevelopment of the knowledge of science teaching practice, especially on how a decision-makingprocess occurs by a socio-scientific issue-based instruction through integrated STEM education.
