Trend of Microbiology Literacy: Systematic Literature Review
International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, Paper presented at the International Conference on Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology (ICEMST) (Antalya, Turkey, Apr 27-30, 2024)
Microorganisms can be found in every part of the environment. They are found in the air, surfaces of objects, and various other ecosystems. Even our lives cannot be separated from the existence of microorganisms. Microbial communities and their metabolites can have positive and negative impacts. Even the Health sector has evaluated and reviewed the role of microorganisms in health, by including microorganisms in prevention and treatment protocols. Microbial communities can cause or exacerbate the spread of disease, including the fact that microorganisms have been the cause of pandemics in recent years, but some communities can reduce disease. Several articles have attempted to reflect on the presence of microorganisms and their urgency in supporting the life and health of living creatures. This phenomenon was the beginning of the emergence of microbiology literacy. Few articles still examine the explicit relationship between microbiology literacy and social and educational issues. This article aims to define the concept of microbiology literacy academically and provide relevant references on aspects of microbiology literacy's definition. Theoretical concepts are prepared based on article studies, exploration, and systematic analysis. [For the complete proceedings, see ED672779.]
