Eksplorasi Kemampuan Argumentasi Ilmiah Siswa dalam Diskusi Isu Pemanasan Global Berbasis Perspektif Islam di SMAIT Yarsi Mataram

Abstract

This study aims to explore students’ scientific argumentation skills in discussions on global warming issues based on Islamic perspectives at SMAIT Yarsi Mataram. The study was motivated by the increasing urgency of environmental education through socio-scientific issues that emphasize not only scientific concept mastery but also scientific argumentation and the integration of Islamic values in learning processes. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, documentation, and analysis of student discussions based on the Toulmin’s Argument Pattern framework. The participants consisted of senior high school students engaged in group discussions on global warming, climate change, and human responsibility toward the environment from scientific and Islamic perspectives. The findings reveal that most students were able to construct claims and provide supporting data adequately, yet they still experienced difficulties in developing logical and comprehensive rebuttals and warrants. The integration of Islamic perspectives strengthened the ethical dimension of students’ arguments, particularly regarding the concepts of khalifah, amanah, and the prohibition of environmental destruction. This study demonstrates that learning activities centered on global warming issues integrated with Islamic values contribute to strengthening scientific argumentation, environmental literacy, and students’ moral awareness within value-based science education contexts.
