Özet
Socioscientific issues (SSI) can manifest at different scales, ranging from local to global. Although these issues offer valuable contexts for enhancing science literacy, our understanding of learners’ experiences specifically within local contexts, remains limited. Therefore, this study focuses on designing place-based learning experiences centered on SSI for preservice science teachers. The aim is to investigate how their perspectives on the SSI of air pollution evolve as a result of engaging in these place-based learning experiences. The choice of air pollution as the focal issue stems from its prevalence in Ankara, the capital city of Türkiye, where individuals commonly encounter this form of pollution. Throughout this learning experience, teacher candidates are exposed to scientific knowledge concerning air pollution, as well as the social, health, economic, and political dimensions associated with this issue. Moreover, the study aims to document the shifts in teacher candidates’ perspectives on air pollution, drawing on diverse sources of data.
