This research was motivated by the low argumentation skills of fourth-grade students at SDN 09 Koto Baru, who tended to be passive and faced difficulties in expressing logically structured opinions. This study aimed to examine and describe the effect of using the Talking Chips cooperative learning model on students' argumentation skills based on Toulmin's argumentation components (Claim, Data, Warrant, and Rebuttal). The research utilized a quantitative approach with an experimental method through a Pre-Experimental Design in the form of a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design.

Based on the hypothesis testing, the   obtained was -29.969 with a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, thereby rejecting the null hypothesis (  ) and accepting the alternative hypothesis ( ). Furthermore, the classical N-Gain analysis yielded a score of 0.682 (68.2%), which falls into the moderate category and is interpreted as quite effective.
