Abstract


Abstract: The purpose of this study was to identify the quality of students' scientific argumentation on thermodynamics. This research is a case study research using descriptive method. Research subjects 78 students from two high schools. The instrument is an essay test with 5 items with reliability of 0.728. Descriptive statistics show that students have 46.54 scientific arguments (medium category), and dominant at level 3 (quite strong). At this level students are able to write components of an argument that are quite good or related but less scientific. The lowest average of students is at level 2, it is in the subtopic of work and thermodynamic processes, because they are only able to write claims. For further research, learning such as ADI, authentic PBL, or STEM approaches is needed.

Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengidentifikasi kualitas argumentasi ilmiah siswa pada termodinamika. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian studi kasus dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif. Subjek penelitian 78 siswa dari dua sekolah menengah atas. Instrumen soal adalah tes esai dengan lima butir soal dengan reliabilitas 0,728. Statistic deskriptif menunjukkan bahwa siswa memiliki argumentasi ilmiah 46.54 (kategori sedang), dan dominan pada level 3 (cukup kuat). Pada level ini siswa sudah mampu menulis komponen argumentasi yang cukup baik atau saling berkaitan namun kurang ilmiah. Rata-rata terendah siswa berada pada level 2, yaitu pada submateri usaha dan proses-proses termodinamika karena hanya mampu untuk menulis claim saja. Untuk penelitan selanjutnya diperlukan pembelajaran seperti ADI, authentic PBL, atau pendekatan STEM.
