In relevant literature, argumentation-based learning have shown to provide positive changes in many cognitive and affective variables in students: increase in students' social understanding and environmental awareness (Fettahoğlu, 2016), development of argument skills (Topçu & Atabey, 2017) and higher-order thinking skills (Yıldırır & Nakiboğlu, 2014), increase in science achievement (Öğreten & Uluçınar, 2014) and conceptual understanding (Acar, Tola, Karaçam & Bilgin, 2016;Eyceyurt Türk & Güngör Seyhan, 2022;Okur & Güngör Seyhan, 2021;Tezel & Yaman, 2017), positive change in metacognitive strategies (Aydın & Kaptan, 2014;Ulu & Bayram, 2014), the establishment of science culture in students, activating scientific reasoning and logic skills, and gaining scientific literacy (Jiménez-Aleixandre & Erduran, 2008).…”
