Students’ argumentation ability is very important in the learning process. Argumentation activity is an effective teaching-learning process that becomes an important in learning today and a major concern in many countries over the past decade. The aim of the research is to show the effect of problem-based learning using circle share activity on students’ argumentation ability. Problem-Based learning using circle share activity is the learning model where problem-based learning with the use of two steps circles shares discussion. The first step, the discussion of the problem among student was conducted in each group which consisted of three or four students. The second step, the student discussion was conducted between groups by circle share. The discussion among students between groups will result in more explanation about problem-solving than each group. For control class, students learn using classroom discussion. The data was collected using two-tier tests on uniform circular motion, student reasoning of choosing the answer was considered as argumentation that was analyzed with Toulmin Model Argumentation. The results of the research showed that the student argumentation ability in the experimental class was better than the control class.
