What is it about?
The paper believes the method a teacher employed in science class for instruction makes students’ learning difficult. A literature review of some common methods of teaching in science was done. The paper highlighted the conceptual framework of the Peer Instruction Argumentative Strategy (PIAS) and discussed the importance of PIAS to science learning. The paper recommended PIAS for science education classes based on its perceived advantages over the other teaching strategies.

Why is it important?
It is vital to understand that most conventional teaching strategies are not relevant to science in the 21st century. The era of Education 4.0 drives the fourth industrial revolution, where teachers are required to act as coaches and not teach. Students collaborate and individualize their learning.
Perspectives
From my doctoral theses, I discovered that students learn most when allowed to control their learning while teachers coach and scaffold. The teacher should allow students to learn by dialogical argumentation under the teacher's guide. Science teachers should have the Constructive Controversy theory at their fingertips while using Peer Instruction Argumentative Strategy.
