Abstract

The ability of scientific argumentation is an ability that must be mastered by students in this century. The level of scientific argumentation of students is obtained through 24 items of Lawson instrument tests. The subjects in this study were 106 students, with age range 13-15 years old, at the first middle school level. The result indicated that average score 50% less than the highest score. In addition, there were also 2 items that have a percentage of correct answers of less than 10%. Both of these findings conclude that the scientific argumentation skills of junior high school students are low. Therefore, it is recommended to develop teaching strategies that support the development of students' scientific reasoning skills.
