This approach can be integrated in the students’ worksheet to help students to think critically and achieve learning objectives. The purpose of this study was to determine the responses of chemistry teachers and students of twelve grade secondary school based on the needs analysis of the development of Socio Scientific Issues on Acid-Base topic. The research method used was a survey method using a questionnaire research instrument. This research instrument is filled in through a google form containing several questions or written statements that must be answered by the respondent. The subject of the research were chemistry teachers and XII grade high school students.
