Abstract

To develop a web-based instructional model dealing with bioethical issues, decision-making, and problem solving, this study analyzed bioethical issues and their instructional methods of science and biology textbooks of 7th to 12th grades in the 7th science curriculum.In total 210 bioethical issues were found from 27 science textbooks and 12 biology textbooks. The middle school science textbooks (7th to 9th grades) contained lower number of bioethical issues than the high school science and biology textbooks (10th to 12th grades). Most of the bioethical issues in the middle school science textbooks were related to individual health problems. The 11th grade biology textbooks focused on human biology had the most bioethical issues.In total, the bioethical issues related to 'artificial insemination', 'human genome project', 'environmental hormone', and 'human embryonic cloning' were dominant. And most of them were found in the units of 'reproduction and development (9th to 11th grades)', 'biological science and human life (11th grade)', and 'biology and human future (12th grade)'. The most of the bioethical issues were in the category of social-moral value problems.The instructional materials for the bioethical issues were mostly reading material, picture, inquiry, advanced work, performance evaluation, and small group project, and the majority of instructional approaches were inquiry, survey and discussion, open forum, data interpretation, role-playing, and moot. In high school biology textbooks, the most approaches were inquiry style.
