Abstract

The argumentation skill is one of the supporting abilities in determining the quality of thinking in the era of the 4.0 revolution. The development of argumentation skills is important to be implemented in solving physics problems, especially in exploring how they solve problems and understand concepts so that misconceptions do not occur. This study aims to determine the improvement of students' argumentation skills in solving electrical concept problems before and after the intervention. This type of research uses a mixed method model research method with an embedded experimental design. The research subjects consisted of 32 students of the Department of Physics Education at Musamus University who had or are currently taking the magnetic electricity course. The results showed that students' argumentation skills improved along with the help of worksheets assisted with representation formats during lectures

Highlights

  • The Argumentation skill is the ability of an individual to collaborate or respond the statements through scientific and sensible procedures

  • The results showed that students' argumentation skills improved along with the help of worksheets assisted with representation formats during lectures

  • Statistical data is used to answer the impact on students' argumentation skills before and after learning using problem-solving worksheets assisted by quantitative representation formats

Summary

Introduction

The Argumentation skill is the ability of an individual to collaborate or respond the statements through scientific and sensible procedures. One of the indicators of its achievement is individuals should be able to implement argumentation skills to support critical thinking skills, creative thinking, and problem-solving in their daily activities (Trilling and Fadel, 2009). One of the most prominent examples is the strengthening of oral and written form argumentation in explaining the meaning of physical physics, a physical phenomenon, both at the lower-order thinking skill (LOTS) level and higher-order thinking skill (HOTS) Individuals must have the skill to represent concepts that will be very helpful to students in scientific arguments in solving problems of physics (Bahri, 2012). The development of argumentation capability instruments can refer to five indicators adapted to the field of physics, namely: claims, data, qualifiers, warrants, and backing The development of argumentation capability instruments can refer to five indicators adapted to the field of physics, namely: claims, data, qualifiers, warrants, and backing (Cari. et al, 2019)
