Abstract

Scientific argumentation helps develop the skills needed in the 21st century, namely the ability to think critically and communicate effectively. The identification of the ability to argue scientifically can be a guide in developing learning. This research is a descriptive study that aims to describe the phenomenon of students' scientific arguments about the material of sound and light waves. This study involved 88 class XII students of SMA Negeri 1 Putussibau for the academic year 2020/2021 as research subjects. The instrument used in the form of 3 essay questions is the Scientific Argumentation Ability Test with a reliability of 0.622. Students' answers were analyzed based on the Toulmin Argumentation Pattern (TAP) level of argumentation. The results showed that the scientific argumentation of students on the topic of waves was still low, with the average level of student ability at levels 1 and 2. It was necessary to make efforts to improve students' scientific arguments, one of which was the application of the Argument Driven Inquiry learning model.
