Developing Computational Thinking Competencies through Constructivist Argumentation Learning: A Problem-Solving Perspective

Argumentation is a scientific literacy practice focused on developing thinking skills associated with problem-solving. As computing has become an integral part of our world, computational are requisite for successful The significant effect applications the efficacy practices increasingly acknowledged. In this article, we propose framework that conceptualizes constructivist argumentation as context problem-solving by applying five dimensions, viz. algorithmic design, decomposition, abstraction, evaluation, and generalization. emphasizes two aspects, students’ capability quality argumentation. Drawing from literature problem-solving, argue application dimensions in science learning currently overlooked instructional environment. To nurture higher order to engage effective problem-solvers, incorporates four Computational Thinking-Argumentation design principles support innovation teaching at secondary school level, 1) competencies building solving uncertainties throughout inquiry; 2) creative cooperativity through negotiation evaluation; 3) talking writing; 4) critical processes abstraction
