Teachers are a key to success in current educational reform efforts. Teachers mustinternalize the goals of the STS learning, master the basic concepts and skills, and bewilling not to rely only on the standard text books but to develop their own teachingmaterials. Only when the science teachers' beliefs and capability become compatiblewith the notion of the STS education, they could cultivate citizens to have globalperspectives, who are able to integrate science, technology, environment, and society. This paper reports how we use a unit development approach as the opportunitiesfor prospective chemistry teachers to (a) examine their beliefs and values about responsible citizen action on STS issues, (b) find a place of STS in school science education, (c)confront inconsistencies in their beliefs and values about STS action throughparticipating in STS module development, and (d) construct more appropriate beliefs,values, and corresponding science teaching practices. The effectiveness of the professional development model for chemistry teachers was determined by analyzing andcomparing: 1) the C-STES unit developed at the entry level with the improved unit atthe exit level; 2) the unit task analysis and interpretations made by the subject at entrywith exit levels; 3) the peer reports of microteaching performances; and 4)the researcher's observation and analysis of the interview documents. The results of this studyshowed that the unit development with the scaffolded strategies improved the participant's professional performance.
