PROFIL PERSPEKTIF SOSIOKULTURAL MAHASISWA DALAM BERARGUMENTASI PADA MATA KULIAH BIOLOGI DASAR
Abstract: Research has been
conducted to determine the profile of the sociocultural perspective of students
in arguing on Basic Biology course. The description of the sociocultural
perspective is needed as a basis for the development of argumentation skills in
the classroom, as one of the demands of 21st century science education. Data
was collected through audio-visual recording, followed by transcription of
course. A total of 235 students and 3 lecturers involved as research subjects.
The results showed that sociocultural perspective of students in arguing is
undeveloped. Discourse move that emerged during the learning process are
information seeking, expositional, and oppositional, whereas no supportive.
Although the type of open-ended questions arised more than closed questions,
however, discourse explanation was still dominated by lecturers than students.
Likewise, clarifications were given mainly by lecturers, while students gave no
clarification. A serious effort should be made to develop a sociocultural perspective
in arguing through appropriate learning strategies in order to improve student
argumentation skills.
