Design and Validation of Science Student Worksheet based on Argument Driven Inquiry to Improve Argumentation Skills for Junior High School Students

Abstract

The survey results on teachers and students in six regencies/cities in Lampung Province showed that in science learning, teachers have not optimized the argumentative skills of students. Thus, this study aimed to develop and validate science worksheets oriented to the argumentative skills of students. This study used a 4D-study design with Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) learning model. A small-scale trial was conducted on 20 IX-graders at SMP 9 Krui Pesisir Barat. The large-scale trial was conducted on 50 IX-graders at SMP 9 Krui Pesisir Barat by purposive sampling with one experimental class and one control class. The control class used a worksheet from a particular publisher, and the experimental class used the developed worksheet. Based on the results, the ADI model worksheet can be declared valid in terms of content, construction, and language with an average of 92.3% with very high criteria. The practicality of the ADI worksheet model can be seen from the implementation of learning, student responses, and teacher responses had an average of 89.24% with very high criteria. The effectiveness of the ADI model worksheet can be seen from the ability to work on argumentation skills test questions, showing that the control class N-gain was 0.27 with low criteria and the experimental class was 0.57 with medium criteria. The effect size (SE) of 0.64 showed that the developed science worksheet was effective in developing argumentative skills of students with medium criteria

The Effectiveness of Student Worksheet Based on Scientific Literacy to Train Argumentation Skills on Factors that Affecting Reaction Rate

“…It means there is an influence in the use of student worksheets developed on the results of cognitive tests and students' argumentation skills. Science worksheet was effective in developing argumentative skills of student with medium criteria (Lismawati et al, 2021).…”

Effectiveness of Science E-Module Using Argument-Driven Inquiry Models to Improve Students' Generic Science, Critical Thinking and Scientific Argumentation Abilities

“…To gain a deeper understanding of the natural environment, processes inquiry (investigation) is considered important to be implemented in learning. By using the process inquiry, thinking, working and communication skills can be developed (Lismawati et al, 2021;Marudut et al, 2020). These abilities can be developed if there are adequate teaching materials, one of which is e-modules.…”

The Effect of e-Worksheets in Eco-Friendly Technology Oriented with Argument-Driven Inquiry Model to Improve Students Argumentation Skills

“…The application of the ADI model in learning the subject matter of Eco-Friendly Technology requires good teaching materials. Various studies on the application of the ADI model assisted by worksheets have been carried out, one of which is research conducted by Lismawati et al (2021) that learning using worksheets with ADI model can improve students' argumentation skills. However, currently there are still few who implement it with the help of electronic worksheets, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.…”
