Abstract
This booklet is for teachers who want to expand their
teaching approaches to include socio-scientific issues
which enrich and give meaning to core scientific principles.
It is meant to enhance young people’s curiosity about the
social and scientific world and raise important questions
about issues which affect their lives. We call this approach
Socio-Scientific Inquiry-Based Learning, or ‘SSIBL’ for
short. Chapters 1 and 2 present an introduction to the
theoretical background of SSIBL. In chapter 3, SSIBL will
be approached from a classroom perspective, providing a
simplified version of the framework and showing teaching
examples
