Abstract
Natural resource education plays an important role in the success of sustainable development programs, namely increasing student sustainability literacy. This paper wants to reveal one of the lecture approaches that take socio-scientific issues as a context for classroom learning. The research method is a field study followed up through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The results showed: (1) Mapping of social and environmental issues that can be raised as a learning topic in class (2) a framework of sustainable literacy based on socio-scientific issues, and (3) Design of natural resource education learning for pre-service teachers. This study concludes the importance of raising socio-scientific issues as a context for developing natural resource education courses to improve students^ sustainability literacy.
