From few researches been done, obtained that learning which involve argumentation can improve students’ argumentation skills and concept understanding. This research used to get learning model that can improve junior high students’ argumentation skills and science concepts understanding. A model that developed is focusing on 4 aspects of argumentations skills are, (1) deciding claim, (2) giving supporting evidence according to the claim, (3) organize reason, (4) organize counter-argument. This model is developed based on validation result by science learning expert through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) program. Two results obtained from that program. First, the developed model has a goal to increase argumentation and science concept understanding. Second, learning syntax (teacher and student-activities) consist of five phases, which are orientation, exploration, pre-argument, argument and counter-argument, and last reflection.
