This study aims to examine the approaches of biology teachers in addressing hypothetical scenarios involving the management of alien species, specifically the red-eared slider turtle (Trachemys scripta elegans), within home and school contexts. Twenty biology teachers from across the country participated in this study. Each was presented with two hypothetical scenarios through a survey, and their suggested advice and solutions were analyzed using the concept of ‘appeal’ from ommunication theory. The analysis revealed that for issues arising in home settings, teachers employed three main appeal types, ‘scientific fact-centered’, ‘ethical responsibility-centered’, and ‘empathy-centered?through’ rational and emotional appeals, resulting in seven distinct subtypes of responses. For school-based issues with alien species, teachers’ responses were categorized into five solution types: recommending transfer or adoption by others, entrusting or donating to institutions, facilitating student-led problem-solving activities, consulting with relevant agencies, and controlling population through passive or active means. The findings indicate that many teachers face challenges in providing consistent and effective responses due to a lack of comprehensive manuals and practical training on manag...
