Abstract
We explore how students frame, reason, and make decisions on a wind energy socio-scientific issue (SSI) using Construal Level Theory (CLT) as a lens. Results suggest perceptions of wind energy are related to abstraction of the issue, which has implications for the design of SSI-based curriculum and instruction.
