Fostering Knowledge and Decision-Making Skills through an Exploration of Genetic Dilemmas in Society: Preservice Biology Teachers' Perspectives

Abstract: The topic of genetics is an essential concept in the biological sciences, and it is also relevant to people's daily lives. Several community dilemmas trigger a controversial debate on genetics that requires a better understanding of "genetics literacy." This research aimed t...

520 |a Abstract: The topic of genetics is an essential concept in the biological sciences, and it is also relevant to people's daily lives. Several community dilemmas trigger a controversial debate on genetics that requires a better understanding of "genetics literacy." This research aimed to investigate biology students' opinions on the current genetic dilemmas in their environment. Data were gathered through interviews and genetic syllabus documents. The results indicated that genetics dilemmas in society are categorized into four topics: sex-influenced genes, sex-linked genes, aneuploidy, and autosomal genes. Public perceptions of genetic dilemmas are based on myths rather than science. Preservice biology teachers linked the concept of genetics with existence in society. Students' decision making about the truth of myths associated with genetic ideas can bridge the gap between community knowledge and science
