In this process, both attitudes toward SSI and argumentation skills are important. This study examined the effects of AI-supported SSI teaching on university students’ attitudes toward SSI and their argumentation skills. Additionally, the relationships between these two variables were examined. A pre-post test quasi-experimental design was used in the study. The participants were 247 undergraduate students majoring in Public Administration at a university in southern Taiwan. The experimental group received AI-supported SSI teaching for 18 weeks, while the control group received teacher-led SSI teaching. Data were collected using the ATLSIS and the PASS. ANCOVA and correlation analysis were employed. The results showed that the experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group on all dimensions of attitudes toward SSI and on argumentation skills. The largest increase was determined in Connectedness to Scientific Endeavor dimension (in attitudes) and evaluating counterarguments (in argumentation skills). The results suggested a somewhat more focused pattern of correlation between attitudes toward SSI and argumentation skills following the intervention. The findings suggest that the AI-supported SSI teaching condition was associated with higher attitudes toward SSI and higher perceived argumentation skills.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">522-537</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mastura Halim</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rohaida Mohd Saat</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">EXPLORING STUDENTS’ UNDERSTANDING IN MAKING A DECISION ON A SOCIOSCIENTIFIC ISSUE USING A PERSUASIVE GRAPHIC ORGANISER</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Baltic Science Education</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">decision-making</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">persuasive graphic organiser</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">socioscientific issues</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">understanding of scientific concepts</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">October/2017</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2017/987-1509214372.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The common use of questionnaires and qualitative assessments revealed that students experience difficulties in visualising the structural complexity of decision making. Thus, the use of scientific knowledge was disconnected while making a preference. The focus of this research was to explore students’ understanding of the global warming issue using a Persuasive Graphic Organiser (PGO). This research was conducted among 36 students (Grades 7-9) at a school in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The developed PGO and interviews were utilised as the primary data collection techniques. Meanwhile, a constant comparative procedure was employed in the qualitative data analysis. Results showed that the use of PGO assisted students’ visualisation in relating three essential understandings of the global warming issue. The students were able to: 1) identify anthropogenic factor affecting global warming; 2) clarify the effects of global warming in health aspect, and 3) provide alternative solutions regarding green technology and daily practices. It was also found that PGO is operationally workable and can be conveniently utilised as a visualisation tool for promoting students’ understanding in socioscientific decision-making.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">813-824</style></section></record></records></xml>
