Investigation of the Relationship Between Argumentation Level and Decision Making Skills of Secondary School Students

Öz

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the argument levels and decision-making skills of the students during the argumentation based social studies courses. The study was carried out with action research, which is one of the qualitative research methods. The study group of the research consisted of 33 7th grade students. As data collection tools, five different activities were designed by the researcher. The data analysis was carried out at two phases. Firstly, the student’s argument levels were determined by The Argumentation Evaluation Scale and students' decision-making skills were determined by “Decision-Making Skill Evaluation Rubric”. Then the correlation between the two rubric scores was examined for each student. According to the result, positive and high-level (0.80) relationships were determined between students' argument levels and their decision-making skills.
