My research focus has been teaching and learning of socioscientific issues (SSI) and informal argumentation skills concerning emerging issues of, for example, climate change and controversial  issues emerging from the pandemics. The SEE-SEP model was developed in year 2010 by myself and my co-author to contribute to SSI-based teaching and learning and the assessment of SSI/informal argumentation. The SEE-SEP model addresses SSI involve multi-disciplines of science/technology (S), environment (E), economy(E), social culture (S), ethics (E) and policy (P) as well as people's knowledge, values and experiences. The SEE-SEP model is named based on the abbreviation of subject areas shown above, but the most impoertant thing is to remind people while arguing complex SSI, we need to take the viewpoints from seperated subject areas/stakeholders and make an informed decision based on the holitic consideration. In the same line, it is noted that SSI-based teaching and learning need  to be embraced in formal and informal education as well as teacher professional development for sustainability, global citizenship competences and the 21st Century skills. It is worthy to share here that competence is defined as individuals who have knowledge, skill and attitude, and can further ‘reflect and act’ in various situations. In line with SSI-based teaching and learning, my research interests include the aspects of teacher, learner and learning environment with the topics shown below.

(1) Critical and creative thinking via SSI-based inquiry

(2) Critical scientific media literacy

(3) Public understanding of science, technology and health

(4) Digital competence in formal and informal settings

(5) Inclusive education
