Abstract
Socio Scientific Issue (SSI) in chemistry learning is an important issue that develops in society and is conceptually related to chemistry. With the rapid openness of technology and communication, many issues are separated in society that is not necessarily scientifically proven. Many of these controversial issues relate to aspects of the economic, social, and environmental dimensions that are part of education for sustainable development (ESD). As prospective chemistry teachers, students are expected to be able to examine the latest issues from a chemistry angle, build analytical skills in responding to sustainable development challenges as part of responsible citizens, and develop learning media such as video. This study aims to describe: (1) the ability of prospective chemistry teachers to analyze the validity of society^s view related to controversial issues in SSI based on chemistry concepts, (2) the ability of prospective chemistry teachers to analyze aspects of ESD in SSI, (3) the ability of prospective chemistry teacher in developing media in the form of SSI learning videos with controversial issues in ESD. A descriptive method was conducted for this study. Data was collected through worksheets about SSI and ESD, portfolios, and final product assessment sheets. The participants included 53 first-year prospective chemistry teachers in the Chemistry Education Department, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The data analysis result indicated that first-year prospective chemistry teachers^ competencies in analyzing issues in SSI were in a moderate category- analyzing aspects of ESD were in a good category- and developing learning videos were in a moderate category. In general, the first-year prospective chemistry teachers^ competencies in developing SSI learning videos with controversial issues in ESD still need to be improved.
