THE ARGUMENT ON A STUDENT’ THESIS OF DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION
ABSTRACT: This paper discusses
the arguments found in a student’ academic writing, namely a thesis. It
attempts to show how an argument is built in a student’s thesis in the
Department of Islamic Education, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Education, Islamic
University of Bandung by drawing upon the theory of Toulmin (2003). The results
of this research show that verse, hadith, and exegesis become the starting
point of the argument to be presented in the thesis. However, there is a
discrepancy between the verses used as warrant’s claim and the data on the
student’s thesis. Consequently, the argument becomes unstable because of the
inconsistencies of argument elements. The implication of this research is
concerned with the supervision process of a student’s thesis that should give
more emphasis on how the student makes his or her arguments correctly.
