Abstract

The present study aimed to preparing a proposed conceptualization based on sustainable chemistry principles to develop science curricula in pre-university education. For achieving this aim, an inventory of standards and indicators was developed. The content of science curricula was analyzed in light of those standards.
Results indicated a weakness in the coverage of standards in curricula. A suggested conceptualization for developing sustainable chemistry principles in science curricula was prepared. The suggested conceptualization included learning outcomes, content, teaching strategies, activities, and evaluation techniques. Several recommendations and proposals were also suggested with some related studies.
