Abstract<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Promoting sustainable development requires citizens who are scientifically literate and capable of making informed decisions about complex global challenges. Addressing socioscientific issues (SSI) has been shown to promote the development of important skills that allow students to analyze complex issues from multiple perspectives, fostering their abilities to make informed decisions and developing responsible citizenship. Many sustainability-related SSI are intrinsically linked to evolutionary processes, as biological evolution plays a fundamental role in predicting ecological scenarios and informing and evaluating solutions to sustainability challenges. Understanding evolution, therefore, can contribute to the development of key sustainability competencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dissertation explores how the integration of evolution education, SSI, and education for sustainable development can enhance students’ evolutionary literacy and sustainability-related attitudes from an early age. Through six interconnected studies, this research: i) examines the state of SSI-based education in Portugal, ii) investigates how evolution education through SSI can foster sustainability competencies, iii) develops a framework to identify SSI integration opportunities in elementary science curricula, iv) establishes a theoretical foundation linking evolution education and sustainability education, v) introduces a tool to assess elementary students’ attitudes toward intraspecific diversity conservation, and vi) evaluates the influence of an SSI-based activity on elementary students’ attitudes toward intraspecific diversity conservation and evolutionary literacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The findings highlight the potential of evolution education, when framed through an SSI approach, to serve as a catalyst for sustainability education. This dissertation contributes to both theoretical and practical dimensions of science education, offering new insights into how evolution education can be leveraged to promote sustainability. It provides empirical evidence, methodological tools, and policy recommendations for integrating evolution and sustainability education through SSI in elementary education. By promoting the development of skills in students to effectively engage with environmental and social challenges, this work reinforces the role of science education in preparing future generations for a more sustainable world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
