Alternative frameworks refer to students’ misconceptions which disrupt and hinder students learning process. These alternative frameworks are inconsistent with the concept used by scientists. Therefore, a conceptual change is needed to convert students’ alternative framework to scientific concept. Existing conceptual change models do not emphasize scientific argumentation and multiple representative levels to foster this conceptual change process. Thus, this study developed a conceptual change model based on scientific argumentation strategy. The study began with a quantitative method to obtain data on students' mastery of scientific argumentation. Subsequently, a qualitative method was implemented to acquire in-depth information to develop a conceptual change model.
