<![CDATA[Studies about neuroscience reported that women and men have differences in some parts of their brain. Women and men have different ways to encrypt memories, solve problems, and make decisions. This study aimed to explore and raise gender differences in scientific argumentation. There were 80 students (40 female and 40 male students) selected by random sampling technique from two schools in Malang. Each student was given eight essays about Newton’s Law as the instrument of scientific argumentation. To analyze the data, the kruskal-wallis test was conduced (P<0.05 was considered a significant difference). The result showed that (1) There was significant difference between male and female students’ scientific argumentation; (2) Female students’ were better at prividing claim, evidence, and reasoning in scientific argumentation than male students’; (3) Students’ scientific argumentation were insufficient category, claim, evidence, and reasoning in level one. These findings could be used as consideration in the next study especially about learnings to improve students’ scientific argumentation.]]>
