| dc.description.abstract | The 2013 curriculum is oriented toward 21st-century competencies
by deploying technology in learning. 21st Century skills hold predominant roles in education. Cognitive skills, critical thinking, creative thinking, metacognitive, perseverance, confidence, solving
problem skills, social skills, collaboration, and communication fall
under the 21st Century skills. Argumentation skills are important to
educators, especially in critical thinking and being able to express
opinions or arguments based on data and facts. Learners are required to make decisions on the basis of logical and reasonable information. In improving argumentation skills, a suitable learning
model is required, namely Discovery Learning. Discovery learning
occurs in problem-solving situations in which learners engage their
existing experience and knowledge to discover meaningful new
facts, relationships, and truths. As such, Discovery Learning can help
learners to improve argumentation skills based on data and facts. | en_US |
