Abstract

Mathematics learning in undergraduate education level mostly used group discussion and problem-based approach. Hence, every undergraduate student should have good argumentation skill. However, they often felt difficult to construct and propose their mathematical arguments. Therefore, this study applied cooperative learning model which type referred to Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL). This study aimed to describe whether or not the difference of students’ argumentation skills between those using CIRC and those using PBL:, in addition to showing the cause of such difference. It was an experimental research with randomized control group pretest and posttest design. Two classes were used as experiment classes, and another one class was used as control class. One experiment class applied CIRC and another one applied problem-based learning method, while the control class applied conventional learning. 90 students participated as the sample of this study. The instrument was test of mathematical argumentation skill. The result found that (1) the students’ mathematical argumentation skills were not significantly different between those using CIRC and those using Problem-Based Learning method; (2) the students’ mathematical argumentation skills were not significantly different between those using CIRC and those using conventional method; (3) the students’ mathematical argumentation skills were significantly different between those using PBL and those using conventional method. Hence, CIRC and PBL brought effects to students’ mathematical argumentation skills.
