| Research Abstract |
This study explored an integrated promotion of logical/rhetorical reasoning skills in science education. Analogical reasoning, which is as an example of rhetorical perspective, and deductive reasoning, which is as an example of logical perspective, are focused. First, integrating of those kinds of reasoning process into one lesson plan promoted students'scientific understanding in secondary school science. Second, in solving a novel problem, it was a effective strategy for students to evaluate students-generated analogies that they can use a type of conditional expression("what-if").
