This document analyzes students' argumentation skills on static fluid topics. 24 university physics students were given a test to assess their argumentation skills based on 5 aspects: claims, data, warrant, backing, and qualifier. The test results reliability was high. Students' argumentation skills were found to be low on the data aspect, and medium on the qualifier, warrant, and backing aspects. Students have not fully mastered argumentation skills for static fluid concepts. More practice with argumentation exercises is needed to improve students' skills.
Influence of Table of Specification on the Construction of Ordinary Level Phy...ijtsrd
A table of specification is fundamental in a test construction. The use of table of specifications when construction a teacher made achievement test and standardized test is very essential, because it will make the test valid and reliable. Unfortunately, because of lack of inadequate training on its use, it is usually not used by many teachers when constructing a test. The results from these types of assessments are likely not to be valid and reliable. In this situation, some topics that the teacher spent little time in teaching may carry more weighting leading to students’ poor performance in the subject Physics . Most teachers and administrators are still relatively blank as far as skills in test construction and interpretation are concerned. Classroom test provides teachers with essential information that they can use to make decisions about instructions, students learning and student grades. This paper is centred on the following meaning of weighting, table of specification, the purpose of the table of specification, the benefits of a table of specification in test construction, what should be taken into account when building a TOS, a practical example of TOS, Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives and item analysis. The importance of table of specifications and the inherent dangers of not using it are highlighted and recommendations to ameliorate the situation are proffered.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to apply a Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process model FAHP for estimating students' importance indexes problem, where the measures of students' attitudes and responses are often uncertain or difficult to determine by using non-fuzzy model. Fuzzy set theory treats a kind of uncertainty called fuzziness. It shows that the boundary of “yes” or “no” is ambiguous and appears in the meaning of words or included in the subjunctives or recognition of human beings. Design/methodology/approach: This paper adapts FAHP to analysis students' satisfaction for the services submitted by the university to enhance learning process and circumstance environment for students, this area of researches is still out of university importance. For the purposes of the survey, questionnaires were designed for all the factors which are affecting in students' satisfaction and most probably all these factors are taken according to their suitable priority. There were five main criterions in the questionnaires. Criterion one focuses on administrative university services Si, the second criterion concentrate with teaching and learning process Ti, while the third criterion is university climate and student activities Ai, the fourth criterion covers the administrative facilities Fi, and the fifth criterion is learning facilities students Li, were asked to measure their perceived experiences with those criterions. Each criterion contains some of sub criteria. Findings: The results illustrate that the quality of teachers T1, Opportunities for recreational activities A1, fair evaluation for students T6, and remedial support A3 are the most important indexes for students. The proposed model would help decision-makers to enhancement the quality of the services and may be adding other facility to make the university more attractive. Research limitations/implications: This paper makes some assumptions such as the number of sample are taken from seven colleges only and not cover all colleges in the university and concentrated about the final levels. Originality/value: This paper introduces fuzzy theory with AHP approach to the research of university services as customers in public firms and it has reached some valuable conclusions, which has opened up a new field of study in the universities services area

The Empirical Analysis of Curriculum Quality Evaluation Based on Students Eva...ijtsrd
The data of curriculum quality evaluation based on students evaluation of teaching contains learners perception of curriculum quality is helpful to provide reference for the improvement of curriculum quality. The evaluation system of curriculum quality should be built around ten evaluation dimensions, such as teaching objectives, subject frontier, case teaching, teacher literacy, classroom discussion, teaching methods, teaching courseware, information technology, teachers Q and A, curriculum ideological and political. Taking the students of school of physics and electronic information of Nanchang Normal University as the research object, and the sample size of curriculum quality evaluation is 5443, the Pearson correlation analysis is carried out on ten evaluation dimensions, and the correlation coefficient is 0.770, which indicates strong positive correlation. A regression model with ten evaluation dimensions as independent variables and curriculum satisfaction as dependent variables is established. The resolution of the model is 77.4 , which can predict curriculum satisfaction, and which has theoretical support for teachers to pay attention to the curriculum quality and improve the curriculum quality. It emphasizes that teaching department should pay attention to the effect of evaluation results on the continuous improvement of curriculum quality. It is suggested that a substantial and effective mechanism for continuous improvement should be established.

Clustering Students of Computer in Terms of Level of ProgrammingEditor IJCATR
Educational data mining (EDM) is one of the applications of data mining. In educational data mining, there are two key domains, i.e. student domain and faculty domain. Different type of research work has been done in both domains.
In existing system the faculty performance has calculated on the basis of two parameters i.e. Student feedback and the result of student in that subject. In existing system we define two approaches one is multiple classifier approach and the other is a single classifier approach and comparing them, for relative evaluation of faculty performance using data mining
Techniques. In multiple classifier approach K-nearest neighbor (KNN) is used in first step and Rule based classification is used in the second step of classification while in single classifier approach only KNN is used in both steps of classification.
But in proposed system, I will analyse the faculty performance using 4 parameters i.e., student complaint about faculty, Student review feedback for faculty, students feedback, and students result etc.
For this proposed system I will be going to use opinion mining technique for analyzing performance of faculty and calculating score of each faculty.

Problem-solving is a vital component under the cognitive standard of the 21st century skills for preparing students to face global competition. Problemsolving supported by another skill, one of which is scientific reasoning. Research objective is to analysis profile content and context of Biology references by interaction of problem-solving and scientific reasoning aspects. Research procedure applied Toulmin Argument Pattern (TAP) as a basic framework to identify the scientific reasoning aspects. Data obtained from the questionnaire, survey, and analyzed descriptively. Result indicates that the majority of Biology references does not required of balance proportion between problem-solving and scientific reasoning aspects. The lower aspect both of content and context was located in explore and Look back for Ground and Rebuttal aspects. In addition, this result can be used to inform future development of instruction and assessment problem solving and scientific reasoning skills.
The student conception needed to analyze problems and obtain effective
solutions. It is also required to train students to think reflective and
argumentative, so expressing student conception is necessary. This research
aimed to describe the schemes of students' conception through digital
arguments in online learning. This research was descriptive qualitative by
uncovering students 'digital arguments and making schemes of students'
understanding based on digital arguments presented in written discussions.
Research Data were from electronic discussion forums, and unstructured
interviews in biology and physics. The analysis results describe that digital
argumentation can use to schemes students' conception.
This paper presents the findings from an evaluatory pedagogical project that utilised an ethnographic case study approach to examine factors influencing the use of online formative assessment and feedback within an undergraduate programme.
The project posed the questions:
• What are the effects of introducing online formative assessment and feedback on learning and assessment performance?
• How effective is online formative feedback in enhancing student success?
The study draws upon data collected from a sample of students (22) who volunteered to participate in the research over a period of one academic year. Data collection tools included: focus group interview, semi-structured questionnaire and student assessment data. The study demonstrates that formative feedback and assessment is beneficial for teaching and learning, and that electronic assessment can offer a more flexible approach that can complement f2f feedback. Online formative feedback in the context of this study had a positive effect upon academic performance and student satisfaction, and demonstrates that students find online formative feedback effective and meaningful. Whilst the small size of the sample influences generalizability, the findings agree with the wealth of literature surrounding formative assessment and the benefits that accrue to students from delivering effective feedback. In addition, evidence from participants in this study is reflected in reports such as the JISC guide: “Effective Assessment in a Digital Age†(2010) and the findings from the EBEAM Project (2012) (Ellis, 2012).

Whilst the small size of the sample influences generalizability, the findings agree with the wealth of literature surrounding formative assessment and the benefits that accrue to students from delivering effective feedback. In addition, evidence from participants in this study is reflected in reports such as the JISC guide: “Effective Assessment in a Digital Age†(2010) and the findings from the EBEAM Project (2012) (Ellis, 2012).

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Abstract. Argumentation skills can be seen from the activities of students when thinking about working on the
questions so that ideas can be analyzed through writing. This study aims to an analysis of student argumentation
skills on the static fluid topic. The sample used in this study was 24 students in physics programs Sebelas Maret
University, who were taking basic physics courses. Data on argumentation skills were obtained through test
techniques, then scored with a 4 category polytomous scale. The test instrument was developed based on an
argumentation scheme of 10 items consisting of five aspects of argumentation skills claims, data, warrant, backing,
and qualifier. The estimation results of test reliability with Quest show that the value of person reliability is 0.77, and
the reliability item is 0.70. It can be concluded that the consistency of the answers from either the testee or the items
in the instrument used to have high reliability. The results of data analysis students' argumentation skills on
static fluid material indicate that student argumentation is still low, that is on the data aspect, qualifier,
and warrant. Argumentation skills are strongly influenced by understanding concepts, that is on concepts
in a static fluid material.
INTRODUCTION
Classroom learning will be successful if the teacher realizes that students' knowledge of the
previous material influences the learning process, and how the teacher prepares prior knowledge in
learning [1]. Knowledge in the previous material can be used as a guide for analyzing knowledge and
addressing student learning difficulties [2]. Knowledge in previous material can actively improve
learning outcomes and foster high-level cognitive skills [1].
High-level cognitive skills in physics learning can be started by involving students through simple
explanations about physical phenomena in everyday life. The 21st
-century skills in the “21st
-century
knowledge-skills rainbow” scheme are (1) life and career skills, (2) learning and innovation skills, and
(3) Information media and technology skills. Learning and innovation skills involve (a) Critical
Thinking and Problem Solving, (b) Communication, (c) Collaboration, and (d) Creativity and
Innovation [3]. To communicate well, one of the abilities that must be empowered is argumentation
skills.
Argumentation is one of the important skills for students and is an effective way to build concepts
in physics learning [4]. The argumentation model has developed by Toulmin [5], and become an
important part of physics learning today in the 2013 curriculum. Argumentation skills are very
effective if taught with inquiry learning models, which are used as explorations of students' abilities to
understand concepts and elaborate on the process of constructing student knowledge [4].
Argumentation skills can be seen from the activities of students when thinking about working on
the questions so that ideas can be analyzed through writing. One form of an assessment instrument

3. that can be used to access argumentation skills is reasoned multiple choice or modification multiple-
choice (MMC), which can allow students to convey their ideas and arguments through writing [6].
The criterion of quality argumentation that can measure the quality of arguing students' has a
positive effect on fostering argumentation skills in the development of science learning [7]. One of the
material in physics learning related to argumentation skills is static fluid material. Empowerment of
argumentation skills refers to understanding the concept of floating and sinking matter [8]. The
investigation of the sinking and floating of simple objects has long been a part of the study of science
in elementary school [9]. The results of the investigation indicate that, serious conceptual difficulties
with Newton's resources for attempting to analyze sinking and floating from a dynamic perspective
[9]. Based on this, the authors are interested in analyzing students' arguing skills in a static fluid
material.
METHODS
The sample used in this study was 24 students in physics programs Sebelas Maret University
(UNS), who were taking basic physics courses. Data on argumentation skills were obtained through
test techniques, and the scores are divided into 4 category polytomous scale. The number of categories
chosen depends on the guiding guidelines used, one of which can be chosen the provisions of each
category, as follows in Table 1.
Table 1. Category Assessment on The Politomus Scale
Category Description
Category 1
If the student misrepresents the concept used and the results are wrong. This is
indicated when the student answers the wrong question and gives the wrong
argument.
Category 2
If the student misrepresents the concept used and the results are likely correct. This
is shown when students answer questions correctly and incorrectly in giving
arguments.
Category 3
If the student is correct in giving the concept used but the result is wrong. This is
shown when students are wrong in answering questions and correctly giving
arguments.
Category 4
If the student is right in giving the concept used and the result is correct. This is
shown when students are right in answering questions and correctly giving
arguments.
Argumentation skills can be seen from the activities of students when thinking about working on
the questions so that ideas can be analyzed through writing. The test instrument was developed based
on an argumentation scheme of 10 items consisting of five aspects of argumentation skills claims,
data, warrant, backing, and qualifier. The distribution of the test instruments used is presented in
Table 2.

4. Quantitative data analysis is used to see the quality of the instrument for assessing argumentation
skills. The estimation results of test reliability with Quest show that the value of person reliability is
0.77, and the reliability item is 0.70. It can be concluded that the consistency of the answers from
either the testee or the items in the instrument used to have high reliability. The next analysis is to
determine the category of argumentation skills ( ), based on the ideal standard deviation (SDi). The
score of argumentation skills is obtained by summing 2 questions in each aspect so that there are five
categories: very high, high, medium, low, and very low, with the provisions presented in Table 3.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Analysis of Achievement of Argumentation Skills
The results of the research data were processed using the Microsoft Excel program, and then
analyzed the achievement of argumentation skills. Aspects of argumentation skills consist of claims,
data, warrant, backing, and qualifier. The results of the argumentation skill achievement analysis are
presented in Table 4.
Table 4. Results of Analysis of Argumentation Skills Achievement
Aspect Category
Claim 5.5 High
Data 3 Low
Warrant 4.5 Medium
Backing 4.8 Medium
Qualifier 4.5 Medium
The results of data analysis in Table 4 show that the aspects of the claim are in the high category.
Whereas the aspects of the warrant, backing, and qualifier are in the medium category, and the data
aspect is in a low category. The findings of this study are by the results of a study conducted by
Viyanti et al., shows that students' argumentation skills are still in the low category, in the range of
50%, this result means that argumentation skills are still in the medium category [10]. These results
indicate that students have not been able to master the skills of argumentation on aspects of data,
warrant, backing, and qualifier. So it is necessary to empower argumentation skills through problem
exercises.
The results of the study were used to determine the performance of students' argumentation skills
by identifying elements of argumentation that are often produced/emerging during learning and the
components/elements of argumentation that can encourage understanding of concepts. The argument
affects the way students accept or reject statements. To support the purpose of this study, researchers
minimize the possibility of students evaluating arguments with expert evidence provided.
Argumentation consists of 1) the center of argumentation on the claim; 2) evidence
(ground/reason) that supports the claim; 3) the relationship between evidence/claim and claim refers
to the chain of reasoning as a warrant; 4) quality and type of reasoning involved (backing); 5) rebuttal
identify exceptions to claims or counter-arguments; 6) claims including qualifiers, limits or explicit
conditions that are part of the claim.

5. Argumentation skills are closely related to students' problem-solving skills because they are the
most important skills to be able to improve argumentation skills. Problem-solving is arguably the
most important skill students can have; progress has been very limited in finding effective ways to
measure and teach these skills [11]. The willingness and ability of students to submit statements and
challenge each other's thinking increase over time by using The Physics and Everyday Thinking
(PET), the results show that they become increasingly comfortable engaging in the practice of
scientific argumentation [12]. Also, one of the learning models that can empower argumentation skills
is to use experimental based problem-based learning [13].
Performance of Student Argumentation Skills Aspect Claim
The claim aspect is a statement based on observations, observations or scientific experiments that
aim to influence the statements of others [5]. The claim aspect in this study consisted of 2 items,
namely in points number 3 and 8. The results of student answers were analyzed using 4 categories.
The percentage of the answer categories in item 3 and 8 is presented in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Percentage of scores for each category on the claim aspect
Based on Figure 1, it can be seen that most students get scores in categories 1 and 2, this shows
that students are only able to complete at that stage and have not been able to reach the maximum
score. From the 2 questions about the skill of arguing on the aspect of the claim, the percentage of
student acquisition in item 3 in categories 1 and 2 is sequentially 25% and 21%. Whereas in item 8 in
categories 1 and 2 sequentially 21% and 13%, this indicates that most students have difficulties in
item 3. Item number 3 is presented in Figure 2.
If the U pipe (Figure 2) is filled with two liquid substances of
different density, then the statement relating to the correct
hydrostatic pressure is. . .

b. At point A = B and C

6. The indicator number 3 on the claim aspect is asking questions. Students are asked to give a
correct statement, relating to the hydrostatic pressure on the U pipe. Pipe U is a simple vessel that is
interconnected in the form of a letter U. This pipe if it is filled with a certain liquid then on both sides
has the same height by the vessel law relating. The law of the vessel related does not apply to liquids
with different density more than one, but the pressure on both surfaces of the liquid in both ends of
the pipe is always the same. The results of the students' answers to the claim aspect are presented in
Figure 3.
EN: The answer is D. Because points A and B are equations of 2 fluids and 2 C and D to measure
the height of the liquid.
Figure 3. Example of Student Answers to Claim Aspect
Figure 3 shows that these students are in category 2; this is because the student is correct in giving
answers but is incorrect in giving an argument. Students' incorrect in giving arguments are located in
the inability to interpret the meaning and data presented in the problem. Referring to Facione's
opinion which states that the interpretation is "to understand and express meaning or significance
various kinds of experiences, situations, data, events, judgments, conventions, beliefs, rules,
procedures or criteria [14]. The inability of students to provide or produce claims is one indication
that in learning, students are accustomed to memorizing without understanding. Skills in producing
claims can be increased by using guided inquiry learning methods. This is by the results of research
by Iwan, Suyatna, & Wasito [15] which states that the skill to produce claims using guided inquiry
learning methods can increase by 47.50% when viewed from the N-Gain value, the average gain is
0.7. The value of gain 0.70 indicates that inquiry learning can be an alternative to improve student
skills in producing claims.
Performance of Student Argumentation Skills Aspect Data
Data aspects can be expressed in numbers (quantitative) or words (statements) obtained from
observing data objects or events that are measured [5]. The data aspect in this study consisted of 2
items, namely in points number 4 and 10. The results of student answers were analyzed using 4
categories. The percentage of the answer categories in item 4 and 10 is presented in Figure 4.

acquisition in item 4 in categories 1 and 2 was respectively 46% and 42%. Whereas in item 10 in
categories 1 and 2 sequentially 71% and 21%, this indicates that most students have difficulties in
item 10. Item number 10 is presented in Figure 5.
Look at Figure 8!
If the left piston is given a force of F1, then the pressure acting on the right
piston is…..
a. Right piston pressure is smaller than the left piston
b. Right piston pressure is greater than the left piston
c. The right piston pressure is the same as the left piston
d. The left piston pressure is smaller than the right piston because it is
lower
e. The right piston pressure is smaller than the left piston because it is
higher
Figure 8. Your statement: ……...…………………………………………………....
Figure 5. Item Number 10 in Aspect of Data
Indicators question number 10, namely questions are strengthened with data. The items can be
resolved based on Pascal's law. Because the left piston pressure is forwarded to the right piston, the
pressure acting on both pistons is the same. Based on the fact that fluid pressure depends on the depth
and value of P0, each addition to the surface pressure must be passed to all other points in the fluid.
Pascal's law states that the change in pressure acting on the fluid is passed without decreasing
completely to all points on the fluid and also to the walls of the container. Examples of student
answers are shown in Figure 6.
EN: The answer is C. Based on Pascal's Law, namely P1 = P2. So that the F1 force can be calculated
when it is known the value of its surface area.
Figure 6. Example of Student Answers to the Data Aspect
Based on figure 6 shows that these students only provide makeshift arguments. That is proposing
the idea that in solving these problems can use Pascal's law that is when the area is known. Most
students answer question number 10 in categories 1 and 2, which is only able to give correct answers
in multiple choices but is wrong in proposing problem-solving strategies. Based on these findings,
students' argumentation skills are still weak in the data aspect. Data aspects are aspects obtained from
observations of objects or events that are measured, both qualitatively and quantitatively [5]. This
means that argumentation on aspects of data is not just a matter of presenting information but rather is
solving problems in the form of conclusions based on information in qualitative and quantitative
forms [8].
Performance of Student Argumentation Skills Aspect Warrant
The warrant aspect is the relationship between claim and data, namely by establishing a rational
relationship to make reasonable conclusions. If the claim based on data means that the conclusions or
statements or claims are correct based on the data [5]. The warrant aspect in this study consisted of 2
020059-6

categories. The percentage of the answer categories in item 1 and 6 is presented in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Percentage of Scores for Each Category on the Warrant Aspect
Based on Figure 7, it can be seen that most students get scores in categories 1 and 2, this shows
that students are only able to complete at that stage and have not been able to reach the maximum
score. From the 2 questions of argumentation skills in the aspect of the warrant, the percentage of
student acquisition in item 1 in categories 1 and 2 sequentially 67% and 8%. Whereas in item 6 in
categories 1 and 2 respectively 17% and 8%, this indicates that most students have difficulties in item
1. Item 1 is presented in Figure 8.

the calculation is 10 Newton.

Performance of Student Argumentation Skills Aspect Backing
The backing aspect is quality and type of reason, which indicates the extent to which evidence and
logic support claim. The underlying reason can be based on authority, logic, or theory [5]. The
backing aspect in this study consisted of 2 items, namely in points number 2 and 7. The results of
student answers were analyzed using 4 categories. The percentage of the answer categories in item 2
and 7 is presented in Figure 10.
Figure 10. Percentage of Scores for Each Category on the Backing Aspect
Based on Figure 10 it can be seen that most students get scores in category 1, this indicates that
students are only able to complete at the next stage. From the 2 questions about argumentation skills
on the backing aspect, the percentage of student acquisition in item 2 in category 1 was 25%, while in
item 7 in category 1 was 42%. This shows that most students have difficulties in item 7. Item number
7 is presented in Figure 11.
Look at Figure 5!

10. The problem in Figure 11 can be solved using the concept of hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic
pressure is the pressure caused by a liquid which is stationary at a certain depth, the amount of which
is influenced by the height of the liquid, the density of the liquid, and the acceleration of gravity.
Examples of student answers are shown in Figure 12.
EN: The answer is D. The pressure at points A, B, C is the same because it uses the same density.
While point D uses a different type of fluid mass.
Figure 12. Example of Student Answers to Backing Aspect
Based on Figure 12 shows that students are only able to provide simple arguments and have not
been able to provide complex arguments based on understanding the concept of hydrostatic pressure.
In the problems presented (Figure 11), all points are at the same depth but at point D have different
pressures from points A, B, and C because point D is in a different liquid, namely mercury. If the
pressure on two different fluids with different density, then the pressure will be greater because the
greater the density (water + mercury) then the pressure that works also gets bigger. Based on the
hydrostatic pressure equation which is P0 + ρgh indicates that the pressure gradient is in the upright
direction, meaning that the pressure will decrease when the object moves upwards in a fluid. The
pressure changes linearly with the depth and density of the fluid.
Performance of Student Argumentation Skills Aspect Qualifier
Aspects Qualifiers are important words or short phrases used in the Claim to narrow the focus of
the Claim [5]. The qualifier aspect in this study consisted of 2 items, namely in points number 5 and
9. The results of student answers were analyzed using 4 categories. The percentage of the answer
categories in item 5 and 9 is presented in Figure 13.
Figure 13. Percentage of Scores for Each Category on the Qualifier Aspect
Based on Figure 13, it can be seen that most students get scores in categories 1 and 2, this indicates
that students are only able to complete at that stage and have not been able to reach the maximum
score. From the 2 questions about argumentation skills in the aspect of the qualifier, the percentage of
student acquisition in item 5 in categories 1 and 2 was respectively 33% and 29%. Whereas in item 9
in categories 1 and 2 sequentially 17% and 46%, this indicates that most students have difficulties in

The approach used in solving this problem, using the hydrostatic equation. Because in the
hydrostatic equation the pressure is dependent on the height of the liquid, density, and acceleration of
gravity. In the problem presented (Figure 14) a related vessel is inserted into three different types of
fluid with different masses. If measured from the lowest boundary between point A and point B, point
A has a height of h1 and point B has a height of h2 and h3. The total pressure at Adan point B is as
large. According to the hydrostatic pressure equation, the magnitude of the pressure at point A and
point B depends on the fluid density and the fluid in the tube. The results of student answers to this
problem are presented in Figure 15.
EN: The answer is B. Because high P1.h1 = P2.h2 + P3.h3 (easier).
Figure 15. Example of Student Answers to Qualifier Aspect
The student is included in category 1 because it is incorrect to give an answer and the argument is
also wrong. Student E is only able to answer based on the basic equation of hydrostatic pressure,
without understanding the meaning and not knowing how to solve the problem. Based on these
findings, students' argumentation skills are still relatively weak in all aspects. Scientific argumentation
is a process of finding claims using interpreted data and evidence to compile the knowledge. This
means that argumentation is not just a matter of presenting information but rather is solving problems
in the form of conclusions based on information and facts [8].
CONCLUSION
Skills of argumentation are needed, to integrate and apply concepts and to construct and
reconstruct the understanding of concepts. The results of data analysis students' argumentation skills
on static fluid material indicate that student argumentation is still low, namely on the data aspect,

assessing argumentation skills in these aspects. Argumentation skills are strongly influenced by
understanding concepts, namely on concepts in a static fluid material. Knowledge of understanding
the initial concepts can be familiarized with intensive guidance by giving a test that requires high-
level thinking. High-level thinking skills in physics learning can be started by involving students
through simple explanations about everyday phenomena.
