Abstract

This study aims at finding out and comparing students' ability in identifying abuse(s) in argumentdeductions between science students and social science students. The design of this study is a descriptivequalitative. There were 108 students involved as the respondents (52 science students and 56 socialscience students). The instrument utilized was ten arguments taken from Guth (1969), which is aspecified test to drill argument analysis—aligning content validity for this current study. Therespondents were asked to analyze these arguments and find out the deduction abuses. Their approachin analyzing each argument was further interpreted through data analysis. There were a total of 1080analyses, but 477 analyses of which were discarded due to a biased approach. The data were analyzedusing thematic and interactive analysis. The result shows that, among science students, the mostemployed approach is faulty premise (199 analyses), followed by misleading statistics (53 analyses),hidden premise (37 analyses), equivocation (10), and circular premise (4 analyses). Meanwhile, amongsocial science students, the majority also exploited the faulty premise (137 analyses). Additionally, thehidden premise was also engaged in a great number (130 analyses), equivocation (40), followed bymisleading statistics (9 analyses), and circular premise (2 analyses). These findings circumstantiallyimply that, in learning, students with a science background are better at capturing stated details, whilestudents with a social science background are competent at spotting both stated and unstated details inarguments. It is suggested that teachers should balance the students’ reasoning approaches, regardlessof their academic backgrounds to achieve learning objectives.Keywords: logic, students’ cognition, deduction, reasoning skills, and teaching and learning.

Abstract

Language is a basic tool of human communication, and listening is one of the four important language skills that allow a person to receive, comprehend, and react to a certain piece of information accordingly. Various multimedia applications have been created to improve students’ English listening skill, such as eBelajar Kota Banda Aceh. However, little is known about the perceptions of students regarding the effectiveness of eBelajar in improving students’ listening skill and the obstacle they face when using this application. Thus, this research attempted to investigate these issues. Seventy-six students were involved as research participants, consisting of 33 female students and 43 male students, selected through a random sampling technique. The data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using the percentage formula. The results showed that the students perceive eBelajar Kota Banda Aceh as an effective platform to learn English listening skill, but it occasionally presents a challenge for the students when using it, which is its high dependency on the internet connection and speed. Keywords: Ebelajar, Learning English, Listening Skill, Kota Banda Aceh
