This study aims to determine the effect of scenario-based teaching based on socioscientific issues in the life science courses on decision-making skills, attitudes towards the course, and academic achievement of primary school students. The research was conducted during the life science course and scenario-based teaching activities in the context…

Despite increasing awareness of the importance of promoting the social responsibility of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionals, few intervention programs have been developed to enhance the social responsibility of college students or adults in the STEM fields. In this paper, we introduced a new instructional…

Responsible Management Education (RME) seeks to prepare students to address social and ecological crises via going beyond a traditional narrow understanding of shareholder wealth maximization.
