Abstract

Mathematical argumentation is an essential ability in problem-solving; however, students’ ability to construct arguments is often influenced not only by cognitive factors but also by affective aspect. The research project investigates how 11th grade students develop mathematical argumentation ability through their different levels of productive struggle. The study uses a qualitative research design which uses case study methodology. The study used three data collection methods which included mathematical argumentation ability tests and productive struggle questionnaires and interviews. Three students were selected through purposive sampling to represent high and moderate and low productive struggle categories. The researchers collected data through mathematical argumentation tests and productive struggle questionnaires and interviews, which they used to analyze the data according to four argumentation aspects that McNeill and Krajcik identified as claim, evidence, reasoning and rebuttal. The research results demonstrated that students with high productive struggle constructed complete arguments while students with moderate productive struggle created partial arguments that contained reasoning errors. The students with low productive struggle could not complete all argumentation tasks because they had not learned the required concepts and did not have enough determination to overcome challenges. These findings confirm that mathematical argumentation ability are not only influenced by cognitive aspects but also by productive struggle as an affective aspect that determines students' resilience in solving problems.
