The aim of this study is to suggest a more comprehensive and holistic pedagogical model for teaching socioscientific issues by examining various teaching models to date. In this respect, firstly, the nature of socioscientific issues, in science education, teaching models in the literature, and the factors affecting socioscientific issues teaching were examined, and then a pedagogical model was presented that could be used in socioscientific issues teaching. This presented model describes the domain of knowledge and competencies required by the teacher for an effective socioscientific issues teaching. This model and its components can be used in examining teacher competencies for socioscientific issues teaching, in instrument development studies in this field, and in the process of observing how teachers’ socioscientific issues teaching competencies change over time.
