Overview

This analysis evaluates argumentation and multimodal material use in students, suggesting approaches for environmental education.

Key Points

  • Students show low-to-medium argumentation performance, with 6th graders slightly outperforming 4th graders.
  • Statistical tests reveal no significant differences across most argumentation measures between educational levels.
  • Students utilize different semiotic modalities, struggling more with maps and graphs than texts and videos.
  • Proposed solutions reflect diverse perspectives, indicating the need for improved scientific reasoning in education.
