Abstract
This correlational study aims to analyze the interconnection between students^ ability to understand concepts and scientific argumentation skills through flipped-problem based learning on material pressure. Data on the ability to understand concepts and scientific argumentation skills were obtained from the data pre-test and post-test and then the average score N-Gain was calculated. The average score N-Gain is used to determine how much an increase in a variable is, in this case, the test results of the ability to understand concepts and scientific argumentation skills of students after participating in learning with the flipped-PBL model. To analyze the correlation between the two variables, the correlation test formula is used Product Moment from Pearsons. The results of the correlation analysis using data on increasing the ability to understand concepts and scientific argumentation skills obtained a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.002, which means that there is a positive and significant relationship between increasing students^ ability to understand concepts and scientific argumentation skills. The correlation coefficient between the increase in the ability to understand concepts and argumentation skills of students obtained is equal to 0.519- meaning that the interconnection between increasing the ability to understand concepts and increasing students^ scientific argumentation skills is in the moderate category (strong enough).
Keywords: understand concepts- argumentation skills- flipped-problem based learning
