The objective of this research article was to develop an instructional model based on experiential learning and socioscientific issues approaches to enhance environmental literacy for lower secondary school students. This was a research and development. The study procedures were divided into 2 phases; Phase I: studying and analyzing the basic data to develop the instructional model. It consists of studying the related documents and determination of the environmental literacy components. Phase II: constructing and evaluating the instructional model. The sample was 6 experts in research and curriculum development, environmental management, and science education, for examining suitability of tools. The research instrument was the consistency index evaluation form. Data were analyzed by using mean and standard deviations. The results were as follows. The developed instructional model was composed of objective, principles, and six steps as 1) presenting the issues, 2) investigating prior belief, 3) examining evidence, 4) providing scaffolding, 5) reflecting on experiences, and 6) applying to the new situations. The consistency index of the instructional model was 0.95 The instructional model was appropriate at the highest level ( = 4.68) The developed instructional model can be used for enhancing the environmental literacy of the lower secondary school students. It is suggested that individuals interested in the instructional model should study its manual thoroughly to achieve the objectives of the model.
