Therefore, it was carried out in a primary school in Yozgat city center during the 2023-2024 Academic Year.  An experimental group (24 students [13 girls, 11 boys]) and a control group (22 students [12 girls, 10 boys]) were formed from the fourth grade of the school in question. Science Scientific Creativity Questionnaire and Science Reflective Thinking Scale were utilized as data collection tools during the experimental process, which lasted ten weeks with three hours each week. The data obtained via the research were analyzed through independent samples t-tests along with dependent samples t-tests. The results obtained through the analysis exhibited a significant difference in the experimental group’s favor with regard to understanding, reflection, and total score of reflective thinking in all sub-dimensions of scientific creativity. Based on these results, it is thought that using scenario-based learning activities would be beneficial in primary school science courses. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">271-283</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ömer Acar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zeynep Azaklı</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE EFFECT OF ONLINE ARGUMENTATION AND REFLECTIVE THINKING-BASED SCIENCE TEACHING ON SIXTH GRADERS’ COGNITIVE ABILITIES</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Baltic Science Education</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">argumentation-based teaching</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">distance learning</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">epistemic cognition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">logical thinking</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">reflective thinking</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2023</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">April/2023</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://oaji.net/articles/2023/987-1681286294.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The effect of online argumentation and reflective thinking-based science teaching on sixth-grade students’ epistemic cognition, metacognition, and logical thinking was explored in this study. The research was carried out in the 2020-2021 academic year when all teaching was online due to Covid-19. Students in the study sample were mostly from middle-class families. Students were divided into two groups for one semester; one received online argumentation and reflective thinking-based science teaching (experimental group) whereas the other received only online science teaching (control group). The exploratory factor analyses yielded two factors for epistemic cognition and metacognition questionnaires whereas the logical thinking test was found to be unidimensional. According to the results, experimental group students scored higher than control group students in post-test regulation of cognition and logical thinking. In addition, the experimental group developed knowledge of cognition, regulation of cognition, and logical thinking during the intervention. Although the experimental group scored higher than the control group on the set of post-test epistemic cognition factors, this significance did not appear amongst individual factors. As for the implications of this study, elements of distance learning that may have contributed to the development of students’ cognitive abilities were discussed. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">192-203</style></section></record></records></xml>
