化学实验室课程中，学生设计他们的研究，以解决有关的问题，解决的现象，根据现有的数据和理由提出索赔，捍卫他们产生的论点和反驳他们反对的论点将更有效地使他们的学习者批判性地思考和产生想法。有研究认为，在论证中定义缺陷在一定程度上与创造性和批判性思维有关。本研究旨在探讨学生在辩论中产生的错误数量与其创造性和批判性思维能力之间的相关性。为此，化学实验室课程教学根据论证驱动的探究模式，以30名新生为10周。应用后，学生的论证技能，他们提出的论点和他们的创造性和批判性思维能力的缺陷的数量进行了测量。实验结果表明，大部分学生都能恰当地运用所给的数据进行主张、证明、反驳和支持等论证操作。一个中等水平的显着相关性被发现之间的缺陷的学生定义的数量有关的波义耳定律和他们的分数从创造性思维的流畅性和灵活性，从批判性思维的维度。这一发现与文献中其他研究的结果平行。可以进行研究，以证明高层次的思维能力和反驳之间的关系的性质，这是一个争论的操作。
Chemistry laboratory courses in which students design their researches in order to solve the problem related to the phenomenon addressed, make claims based on available data and reasons, defend the arguments they produce and refute the arguments they oppose will be more effective in rendering them learners who think critically and produce ideas. There exist studies that give rise to the thought that defining flaws in an argument is linked to a certain extent to creative and critical thinking. The aim of this study is to examine the correlation between the number of flaws students produce about an opposed argument and their creative and critical thinking abilities. To this end, the Chemistry Laboratory course was taught according to the Argument Driven Inquiry model to 30 freshmen for ten weeks. After the application, students’ argumentation skills, number of flaws they produced for an argument and their creative and critical thinking abilities were measured. It was determined after the application that most of the students suitably employed argumentative operations of claim, warrant, rebuttal and backing by using given data. A medium-level significant correlation was found between the number of flaws students defined about an argument related to the Boyle Law and their scores from the creative thinking dimensions of fluency and flexibility and from critical thinking. This finding is in parallel with the findings of other studies in the literature. Studies might be conducted to demonstrate the nature of the relationship between high-level thinking abilities and rebuttal, which is an argumentative operation.
