“…This finding is in line with previous studies that studied the effect of feedback on the quality of student writing on various types of texts. The process of giving and receiving feedback from partners during argumentation essay assessment helps students to better understand and deepen the criteria for argumentation essays as well as deepen the topics they are writing about (Álvarez Valdivia & Lafuente Martínez, 2019;García et al, 2020). This feedback process is carried out based on instructions and following the design procedures made by the teacher.…”

“…Argumentation is an essay that tries to give reasons to strengthen or reject an opinion, position, or idea. Argumentative essays must contain arguments, namely evidence and reasons that can convince others that the opinions expressed are true (García et al, 2020;Latifi et al, 2020). Argumentation is a form of rhetoric that seeks to influence the attitudes and opinions of others, so that they believe and ultimately act in accordance with what the author wants.…”

This study investigates the impact of unwritten, written, and managed online feedback on students' argumentative essay writing skills, feedback quality, and domain-specific knowledge acquisition. This study uses an experimental study with experimental and control groups to see the effect of online peer feedback on students' argumentative essay writing skills. The research participants were 270 students from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia who were randomly divided into 135 pairs and randomly assigned to 3 conditions (unwritten, written and managed peer feedback). The online peer feedback platform is the college's own Integrated Online Learning System. The instruction guide is designed within this platform. Through this research, students are asked to write argumentative essays (individual), interact in peer argumentative feedback, and finally improve based on feedback from colleagues. The results showed that the intervention in the form of an essay writing learning process guide design through online peer feedback had a positive impact on students' ability to write argumentative essays, the quality of the feedback, and the level of students' domain-specific knowledge. In general, from the three conditions, students who were in the written condition were superior to all aspects of the ability being tested. This happens because written feedback makes students more organized in expressing their input, has time to review the feedback so that it is of high quality, and is better able to understand deeply in exploring topics, so that the level of student domain knowledge increases. The implication of this research is that it provides an alternative that online peer feedback learning can be used for students' argumentation skills. The ability of scientific argumentation is needed by students in producing scientific writings in universities.

“…Kemampuan berpikir kritis adalah kemampuan menggunakan pemikirannya sendiri untuk memperbaiki atau pemahaman yang diperolehnya . Individu yang memiliki kemampuan berpikir kritis adalah individu yang mampu menggunakan pemikirannya secara kritis untuk mengevaluasi pemikirannya menggunakan standar atau kriteria yang sudah dikembangkan (Álvarez Valdivia & Lafuente Martínez, 2019;García et al, 2020). Melalui kemampuan berpikir kritis, siswa mampu mengevaluasi bacaan atau hasil pemahamannya terhadap suatu materi mengenai kebenarannya.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of teaching reading and writing skills based on critical thinking skills in improving argumentative essay writing skills. Quasi-experimental was used as a research method involving 250 high school level students, divided into experimental and control groups, each consisting of 125 students. The experimental group received an instructional design intervention, while the control group received regular intervention in writing argumentative essays. The research findings show first that this instructional design can improve the ability to write argumentative essays. Depth, logical organization, and criticality, cohesion, coherence, and the use of language used in writing argumentation essays have increased. In addition, instructional design is also able to improve students' critical thinking skills. The improvement of students' critical thinking skills can be seen in the ability to analyze and evaluate the logic used in argumentative essays. So, the integration of reading, writing, and critical thinking skills can improve the ability to write argumentative essays, students' critical thinking, and student attitudes and responses.

“…Critical thinking skills are the individual's ability to use their own thinking skills to improve their understanding. Individuals with good critical thinking skills are individuals who are able to use their thinking critically to evaluate their thinking using standards or criteria that have been developed (Fan & Chen, 2021;García et al, 2020). Through critical thinking skills, students are able to evaluate reading or the results of their understanding of material regarding its truth.…”

This study aims to study the effectiveness of the integration of teaching reading and writing based on critical thinking skills (ITRWCT) in improving the ability to write argumentative essays. The method used is a quasi-experimental method by dividing participants into experimental and control groups. This study involved 260 high school-level students divided into experimental and control groups of 130 students each. The research findings show first that ITRWCT can improve argumentation writing skills. The improvement is seen in the depth, logical organisation and criticality, cohesion, coherence, and use of language used in writing argumentative essays. Second, ITRWCT is able to significantly improve students' critical thinking skills. The improvement of students' critical thinking skills can be seen in the ability to analyse and evaluate the logic used in argumentative essays. And third, students' attitudes towards the design of this instruction generally provide a positive response, they like and are interested in the activities in the learning process. So, this ITRWCT learning instruction is able to improve the ability to write argumentative essays, students' critical thinking skills and student attitudes. Recommendations for further research include a wider sample, involving gender variables, requiring longer interventions to obtain a more optimal intervention effect and needing to be strengthened by qualitative analysis. Keywords: Critical thinking-based instruction, integration of reading and writing teaching, writing ability, argumentative essay.
