This study aims to examine the effect of Science-Technology-Society (STS) learning unit on the Work and
Energy topic in developing grade 10 students’ scientific argumentation. The research participants were 20
grade 10 students at one secondary school located in Khon Kaen province, the Northeastern region of
Thailand. The students’ tasks, discourse and informal interview were collected and interpreted according
to the Toulmin’s Argument Pattern (TAP) framework. The findings revealed that the STS learning unit on
Work and Energy could promote the participating students’ scientific argumentation. That is, the students
could generate more quality and effective scientific argumentation according to the TAP framework.
There was a high number of quality scientific argumentation regarding Warrants, Qualifiers and Backing especially in the Decision Making and Socialization stages of STS approach. Also, the students normally applied their scientific understanding in creating their Grounds. The implication of this study in designing
the appropriate STS workshop for training in-service science teachers to be able to understand about the
STS approach and how to apply the STS approach in helping their students develop scientific argumentation.
