However, learning science by involving socio-scientific issue are expected to develop student attitudes. This study aimed to investigate the effect of socio-scientific issue-based learning (SSI-BL) on students attitudes toward science in learning energy resource topics. The method used is pre-experimental with one group of pre-test and post-test design. The questionnaire was used to investigate students attitudes toward science. The participants are a seventh-grade student that chosen by convenience sampling technique from a junior high school in Bandung, Indonesia.
