Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study aims to examine the effects of an intervention for pre-service teachers which enhanced students’ socio-scientific decision-making through argumentation in the classroom or the groups. Our intervention focused on the consensus building on the socio-scientific issue, the development of a genetically modified organism. In the instructional unit, students identified conflicts among various stakeholders' opinions and proposed solutions to resolve multiple conflicts. In pre- and post-tests, students were asked to construct arguments on the focal issue. Their arguments were explored mainly in terms of the quality of their decisions; reasoning from multiple perspectives and generating solutions to resolve issues. These results demonstrated that the instruction promoted students’ socio-scientific decision-making toward consensus building. We also conducted an SSI-based instruction in elementary schools to enrich contents of the pre-service teacher education.
