Physics Argumentation-Based Computer-Supported Collaborative Hybrid Learning to Increase Concept Mastery and Argumentation Skills

This study aims to increase the level of concept mastery and argumentation of senior high school students in Singkawang City, West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The Physics Argumentation-Based Computer-Supported Collaborative Hybrid Learning (PABCSCHL) model in Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI) especially on the topic of the forest fire on the peatlands has been developed with good validation categories by three pedagogical validators and three assessment validators and been implemented to 200 students. Their argumentation skill levels are measured based on Toulmin Argumentation Pattern. The syntax of the PABCSCHL model is Reading (online), Concept Building, Discussing and Debating (offline), Experiment Designing (online), and Experiment Doing (offline). The core of this model is student collaboration in arguing, debating, and experimenting. From this research, most student solution to anticipate the fire forest on peatlands is burning and waiting until the fire is extinguished perfectly (70 students), monitoring periodically that the fire is completely extinguished (60 students), and limiting the burned area by digging trenches around the site (50 students). Student solutions describe students’ understanding of solving problems posed in group discussion sessions and debates and prove their arguments with experimental data. Before implementing the model, no student has the highest level of argumentation and concept mastery. After that, 23 students have the highest level of concept mastery, and 25 students have the highest level of argumentation. The PABCSCHL model can increase the level of concept mastery and argumentation skills. This model is a new alternative hybrid learning in the post COVID-19 pandemic. Many more SSI can be learning topics to be implemented in this model.

Using an Observation Protocol To Evaluate Student Argumentation Skills in Introductory Biology Laboratories.

Argumentation is vital in the development of scientific knowledge, and students who can argue from evidence and support their claims develop a deeper understanding of science. In this study, the Argument-Driven Inquiry instruction model was implemented in a two-semester sequence of introductory biology laboratories. Student's scientific argumentation sessions were video recorded and analyzed using the Assessment of Scientific Argumentation in the Classroom observation protocol. This protocol separates argumentation into three subcategories: cognitive (how the group develops understanding), epistemic (how consistent the group's process is with the culture of science), and social (how the group members interact with each other). We asked whether students are equally skilled in all subcategories of argumentation and how students' argumentation skills differ based on lab exercise and course. Students scored significantly higher on the social than the cognitive and epistemic subcategories of argumentation. Total argumentation scores were significantly different between the two focal investigations in Biology Laboratory I but not between the two focal investigations in Biology Laboratory II. Therefore, student argumentation skills were not consistent across content; the design of the lab exercises and their implementation impacted the level of argumentation that occurred. These results will ultimately aid in the development and expansion of Argument-Driven Inquiry instructional models, with the goal of further enhancing students' scientific argumentation skills and understanding of science.

The Effectiveness of the PhET Assistant Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) Learning Model on Student's Argumentation Ability on Substance Pressure Materials

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the PhET- assisted argument-driven inquiry (ADI) learning model on students argumentation skills as an essential aspect of the skills needed by humans in the 21st century. The type of research used is quasi-experimental (quasi-research) with a posttest research design-only control group design. The research instrument uses test questions and information analysis techniques using an independent t-test. The results of the analysis show that there is effectiveness in the application of the argument-driven inquiry (ADI) learning model assisted by PhET on the argumentation ability of students on the material pressure of substances at SMPN 1 Koto Gasib as evidenced by the average score of the experimental class which is higher than the control class students, namely 59, 13 53. 15 and based on sig.(2- tailed) which is 0. 007< 0. 05, then there is a significant difference in the average value between the experimental and control classes. Based on the results of the information analysis, it was concluded that there was a substantial difference between the students argumentation skills in the experimental class and the control class. The results of this study indicate that the application of the PhETassisted argument-driven inquiry (ADI) learning model is very effective in developing students argumentation skills.

A method for assessing students' interpretations of contextualized data.

Learning to interpret data in context is an important educational outcome. To assess students' attainment of this outcome, it is necessary to examine the interplay between their contextual and statistical reasoning. We describe a research method designed to do so. The method draws upon Toulmin's (1958, 2003) model of argumentation for the first stage of qualitative data analysis and the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) (Biggs & Collis, 1991) model for the second stage. Toulmin analyses help identify the justifications and expressions of uncertainty students provide in their interpretive arguments. Subsequent analyses based on the multi-modal conceptualization of SOLO help characterize the quality of student arguments relative to one another. Existing literature and an empirical example are drawn upon to explain how the Toulmin and SOLO models can be used in tandem to analyze students' interpretations of contextualized data. We also explain how pairing Toulmin and SOLO can address theoretical and practical limitations that arise when using just one of the two models on its own.

Research Profile of Problem Based Learning on Physics Learning During the Covid-19 Pandemic

<span lang="EN">This study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the profile of the Problem Based Learning Model in Physics learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The research method used is literature study or literature study. The data collection technique used is to look for relevant journals that will be used as references, The journals analyzed were 32 journals, most of which were reputable international journals and journals published in the range of 2020-2022, because at that time the Covid-19 pandemic occurred in Indonesia. From the results of research that has been carried out learning physics during this pandemic has quite an impact on student learning outcomes. In physics lessons, many students experience misconceptions, do not understand physics concepts and their enthusiasm for learning decreases. One model that may be relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic is the model discussed in this study, namely Problem Based Learning. It is proven that the Problem Based Learning model in physics learning during the covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia is effectively used in improving students' problem solving abilities, critical thinking, creative thinking, and student argumentation. Even though there are some obstacles such as the uneven internet in Indonesia which prevents them from accessing the materials. And also still need relevant teaching materials and learning tools during the covid-19 pandemic.</span>

Analyzing science teachers’ support of dialogic argumentation using teacher roles of questioning and communicative approaches

The purpose of this study is to investigate how teachers use different types of discourse to support dialogic argumentation. Dialogic argumentation is a collaborative process in which students construct arguments together and examine arguments presented by their peers. Science teachers can use argumentation as a vehicle to help students gain a working understanding of science content and the nature of science and its practices. Whole-class closing discussions from video-recorded lessons are analyzed to study the discourse used to support argumentation by two physics teachers in lower secondary schools. Analysis of discourse includes coding of communicative approach at the episode level and coding of teacher roles of questioning at the level of speaking turns. Student argumentation is also assessed on the basis of dialogicity and complexity of arguments. Findings characterize different ways of orchestrating argumentative discussions. Authoritative episodes were characterized by the presence of the dispenser role, with teachers retaining ownership over ideas and classroom activities to emphasize the correctness of a justification. Dialogic episodes of classroom interaction showed openness to student perspectives, but teachers’ use of questioning roles revealed different ways of orchestrating argumentative discussions. The moderator role granted ownership of ideas to students to either pursue a single student’s argument in more depth or to directly contrast opposing justifications. Less commonly used were the roles of coach and participant, which teachers used to elicit student justifications in more depth or support students in examining the arguments of their peers. Examination of discourse using multiple frameworks revealed differences in teachers’ values and the impact of the use of teacher questioning roles on student contributions to argumentative discussions.

Supporting Teachers in Argument Writing Instruction at Scale: A Replication Study of the College, Career, and Community Writers Program (C3WP)

This article provides a replication study of the National Writing Project’s College, Career, & Community Writers Program (C3WP), which was found to be effective at improving student writing quality in two prior studies. C3WP is designed to improve students’ source-based argument writing through intensive teacher professional development, instructional resources, and formative assessment. In this study, we used a randomized controlled trial design, randomizing 22 of 44 rural districts into 1 year of C3WP for their grade 7–9 English language arts teachers. We collected argument writing from all students using a performance task similar to those in many state assessments, and we scored the writing for attributes of writing quality and conventions. We found that C3WP led to statistically and meaningfully significant findings on all attributes measured (g = 0.20–0.22). We interpret this study as validating the effects of C3WP on student argument writing quality and providing evidence that C3WP also positively impacts students’ writing conventions. These three separate studies of C3WP spanned 228 diverse schools in 20 states, providing an unusually robust body of rigorous, independent evidence of program effectiveness.

Professional development in classroom discussion to improve argumentation: Teacher and student outcomes

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a year-long professional development program in classroom discussion designed to improve students' argumentation skills in language arts classes. Twenty-six fifth-grade teachers and their 471 students at two research sites participated: 14 teachers in the experimental condition, who received the professional development, and 12 teachers in the comparison condition. Results showed that the professional development led to statistically significant improvements in the quality of teachers' facilitation and student argumentation during discussions, and in students' performance on individual argumentative reading and writing tasks following the discussions, at the end of the year. Findings suggest that the professional development for teachers resulted in strengthened student abilities to connect positions with relevant reasons and evidence, and that argumentation skills acquired in the discussions may have transferred to students’ individual argumentation, at least for reading outcomes.

Scientific Argumentation Profile of Senior High School Students

This study aimed to describe students' scientific argumentation at the senior high school level. This study used a descriptive method and a test to assess the scientific argumentation of 49 students, consisting of eight questions from two themes. We used four components of scientific argumentation: students' ability to make claims and warrants, students' ability to construct counterarguments, students' ability to generate supportive arguments, and student's ability to generate evidence from Lin and Mintzes (2010). We quantified the qualitative data from students' answers and analyzed the data using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the scientific argumentation of senior high school students was 33% in the good category, 31% in the satisfactory category, 22% in the need improvement category, and 14% in the unsatisfactory category. For each component, 95% of students can make claims and warrants, 54% of students have the ability to construct counterarguments, 48% of students can generate supportive arguments, and 98% have the ability to generate evidence. So, the teacher needs to improve students' scientific literacy so students can give the argument with good references.

Profil Kemampuan Argumentasi Lisan Berbasis Socioscientific Issues Mahasiswa Pendidikan IPA pada Mata Kuliah Mikrobiologi

This study aims to determine the profile of students' oral argumentation skills based on Socioscientific Issues in the Microbiology course. This type of research is a descriptive study in order to obtain an overview of the quality of oral arguments of sixth semester students. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, totaling 37 students of science class 2017. The instruments used were audio recordings and anecdotal notes. The assessment of the quality of students' oral arguments is based on the Toulmin's Argumentation Pattern (TAP) pattern which consists of claim, data, warrant, backing, and rebuttal elements. The results showed that science students had the quality of oral argumentation which was still at level 1 where student arguments only consist of simple claims with opposing claims obtaining a percentage of 12%,, level 2 had a percentage rate of 88% while level 3%, level 4% and level 5% of 0% means scientific argumentation ability science students are still relatively low. This finding will be the basis for researchers to evaluate the learning program that has been applied in the Microbiology course and become the basis for further research related to learning strategies in improving the oral argumentation skills of prospective science teachers.

Student argumentation skills’ analysis on the discussion of socio-scientific issues in the concept of viruses

<span>This study aimed to analyze the argumentation skills of students in learning through discussion of socio-scientific issues with the concept of viruses. This research is descriptive which describes the quality of oral and written arguments. The research was conducted in class of X MIPA at SMAN Jakarta. There were 34 students involved in this study. The method of analysis to determine the pattern of arguments used is the Toulmin Analysis. The analysis of collaborative oral arguments in class used Erduran's analysis framework. Meanwhile, the quality of individual written argumentation was Dawson and Venville's analysis. The results showed that the quality of students' oral arguments reached level 5. This means that students have been able to make a claim accompanied by a warrant and rebuttal quite well. The quality of the students' written arguments reaches levels 2 and 3. This means that students' arguments consist of arguments in the form of claims (claims) accompanied by guarantors of claims (warrants) and evidence (data) and rebuttals that are still weak.. The augmentation process verbally and collaboratively in class has reached the highest level, but individually and in writing it is still at a moderate level.</span>

Sophisticated Thinking Blended Laboratory (STB-LAB) Learning Model: Implications on Virtual and Real Laboratory for Increasing Undergraduate Student's Argumentation Skills

Laboratory activities require scientific processes. The crucial scientific process in laboratory activities is aligning with 21st Century skills. Argumentation skills in laboratory activities are needed to make laboratory activities run efficiently, effectively, and without misinformation. Sophisticated Thinking Blended Laboratory (STB-LAB) in laboratory activities is considered capable of improving argumentation skills because of its syntax, disposition, and argumentation stage, allowing students to train their argumentation skills. This study intends to determine whether the STB-LAB learning model can improve students' argumentation skills in virtual and real laboratory activities. The method uses quantitative research with a one-group pretest-posttest design in which the N-Gain will be generated from the pretest and posttest, and find the difference in pretest and posttest, t-test using independent sample t-test, and effect size using Cohen's D. The results show that N-Gain obtained in virtual laboratory activities, only two aspects were categorized as quite effective, namely warrant, and backing aspects. In addition, N-Gain obtained in real laboratory activities only has three aspects categorized as quite effective: evidence, warrant, and rebuttal. The hypothesis obtained in both laboratory activities is 0.000 at Sig. (2-tailed), and the Effect Size obtained in both laboratory activities is 0.91 and 0.79. Thus, STB-LAB can improve argumentation skills using two media, with the virtual laboratory getting the highest results in its improvement. This shows that STB-LAB is appropriate for improving argumentation skills at the undergraduate level.

Exploring the Argumentation Level in Inquiry Learning of Force and Motion

One of the learning methods that is proven to be able to develop and improve students' critical thinking skills is to apply an argumentation strategy with ADI (Argumentation-Driven-Inquiry). This study aims to investigate the level of student argumentation on the subject of motion and force. This study focused on identifying the level of student argumentation after the ADI model was applied. The research population was students of Physics Education, Surabaya State University, whose year class is 2020. The sample selection used a random sampling cluster technique. The used instrument consisted of a multiple-choice test with 10 questions and 2 essays to determine the level of student argumentation. The results showed that the students' arguments were at level 3, namely the ability to analyse problems related to motion and force. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the argumentation abilities of students who do not contribute to give argumentation or who are at level 1, are not able to answer analytical questions about motion and force phenomena properly. Meanwhile, students who are at level 2 are still fixated on one concept or method, and still have difficulty when trying to apply other methods to solve problems. Students whose argumentation are at level 3, 4, and 5 have been able to fulfil all the characteristics of critical thinking, but some still have weaknesses, namely the ability to analyse motion and force problems.

Improving Students Argumentation Learning with Adaptive Self-Evaluation Nudging

Recent advantages from computational linguists can be leveraged to nudge students with adaptive self-evaluation based on their argumentation skill level. To investigate how individual argumentation self-evaluation will help students write more convincing texts, we designed an intelligent argumentation writing support system called ArgumentFeedback based on nudging theory and evaluated it in a series of three qualitative and quantitative studies with a total of 83 students. We found that students who received a self-evaluation nudge wrote more convincing texts with a better quality of formal and perceived argumentation compared to the control group. The measured self-efficacy and the technology acceptance provide promising results for embedding adaptive argumentation writing support tools in combination with digital nudging in traditional learning settings to foster self-regulated learning. Our results indicate that the design of nudging-based learning applications for self-regulated learning combined with computational methods for argumentation self-evaluation has a beneficial use to foster better writing skills of students.

Student conceptual and epistemic quality improvement argumenation with scaffolding on argument-driven inquiry

This study is aimed at comparing the quality of students’ argumentation based on conceptual and epistemic aspects between learnings that implement argument-driven inquiry (ADI) and argument-driven inquiry with scaffolding (ADIS) models. The data were collected through dialogic argumentation observation sheets for the students and audio-visual recordings and were analyzed qualitatively. The study invoved 67 participants in the ADI group and 81 participants in the ADIS group. The quality of student argument with the ADI model differed significantly from the ADIS model. Results show that the students in the ADIS class were are better at providing sufficient data to support claims and coherent causal explanations to explain a certain phenomenon, and at organizing accurate rhetorical references when expressing data.
