A Comparison Of The Individual and Group Arguments Of High School Students
Öz
This study aims to reveal how and why the quality of high school students’ group arguments
differ from the quality of their individual arguments for the chemistry curriculum topic of gases.
This mixed-method study was conducted with 22 tenth-grade students between 13 and 15 years
of age. The duration of the study was eight weeks. The data were collected from the evaluation
of the written argumentation activities completed individually or as a group according to the
argumentation level and argumentation score rubric and content analysis of each activity
paper. The quality of the arguments of groups working in cooperation was found to be higher
than that of the individual arguments, and this difference was found to be affected by two
factors: individual effect and group effect.
