The Effect of Argumentation Based Science Inquiry Approach in Teaching of Circulation System
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to study effect of argumentation based science inquiry (ABSI) on stu- dents’ achievement and attitude toward biology in teaching of circulation system and teachers’ knowledge and attitude about ABSI. For this aim, a 30 items achievement test, a 15 items attitude toward biology test and an open- ended question for learning of thinking about ABSI were administered to 40 secondary school students from two different ninth class that one of them control group applied traditional approach and other one experiment group applied ABSI approach. Also, a 30 items knowledge and attitude test about ABSI were implemented to 20 biol- ogy, chemistry, and physics teachers in secondary school in Erzurum. According to analysis of data, it was elicited that there is an increase of achievement in experiment group but there isn’t a different between control group and experiment group, there is an increase of attitude toward biology in experiment group and students of experimental group have positive view about ABSI approach. In analyze of teachers, it was elicited that teachers have middle level (unstable) knowledge and attitude about ABSI approach.
