Abstract
Science is not only about facts and concepts, but also involves a scientific way of thinking and reasoning. The ability of scientific reasoning in science consists of explaining the facts in a problem (claim), connecting these facts with related concepts (evidence), and explaining the problem scientifically (reasoning). Scientific reasoning ability is a crucial ability in a prospective teacher. The results of observations at Islamic Primary School Teacher Education UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang found that the scientific reasoning abilities of prospective Islamic Primary School Teacher Education were still not developed. One of the strategies that can optimize students’ linking between concepts is scaffolding in blended learning. This study aims to examine the influence of e-scaffolding in blended learning on prospective teacher’s scientific explanation. This research was a quasi-experimental research with a pre-test - post-test control group design. The research sample was taken using purposive sampling technique.

Summary
Science is about facts and concepts and involves scientific thinking and reasoning. The ability to reason scientifically (scientific explanation) in science is different from the reasoning ability used in everyday life. The ability of scientific reasoning in science consists of explaining the facts that exist in a problem (claim), connecting these facts with related concepts (evidence), and explaining the problem scientifically (reasoning) [1]. Scientific reasoning ability is a crucial ability of a prospective teacher. Students' scientific reasoning abilities depend heavily on teachers' ability to develop learning that can train students' reasoning abilities [3,4,5,6]. A prospective teacher's scientific reasoning ability must be good to practice scientific reasoning abilities in students. Prospective teacher still did not fully understand science
