International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, Paper presented at the International Conference on Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology (ICEMST) (Cappadocia, Turkey, May 18-21, 2023)
Decision-making is one of the important skills that must be possessed by students in the 21st century. One of the topics that require the right decision to be made for each challenge and the impact it will cause is climate change which has already occurred. This study aimed to find out how students' decision-making and the importance of improving these decision-making skills, especially in making decisions on socioscientific issues about climate change. Data collection was carried out for one day through questionnaires that were distributed directly to students. In total, 44 junior high school student respondents filled out the questionnaire in this study. The results showed that students made decisions based on their personal feelings and there were indicators of good decision-making that had not been trained in students. Meanwhile, students' knowledge of issues related to climate change was still in the low category. The findings above have implications for teacher strategies in training students' decision-making skills that must be optimized to forge the next generation who can accomplish the problems and make good decisions, especially on issues related to climate change.
