		abstract={World?s massive agenda of promoting 21st century skills is a concrete truth that
cannot be denied by everyone, including Indonesian students from all across range,
In contrast, based on communal justification and researcher?s personal justification,
the lack of Indonesian students? critical thinking skills does exist and it is proven
by Indonesia?s latest PISA score and researcher?s preliminary research at private
university in Sidoarjo. In a purpose of providing a sustainably beneficial learning
strategy to deal with the lack of critical thinking skills, this research aims to
investigate the new paradigm that was rarely initiated to be conducted (i.e. enacting
two mutually exclusive realms to be one unity), namely using classroom debate to
enhance students? critical thinking skills through argumentative writing. It employs
a descriptive qualitative research design. The data of the research were collected
through observation and documentation (i.e. document analysis and video
recording) with 19 undergraduate students who were currently mastering
argumentative writing field of study at a private university in Sidoarjo. The findings
obtained from this research show that the assumption of the researcher in bringing
up a new paradigm of using classroom debate can enhance students? critical
thinking skills through argumentative writing is conceptually and practically
correct. The result of three meetings of implementation indicates that 19 research
subjects? critical thinking skills are progressively enhanced and it is captured
through (1) classroom debate ballot; (2) case building paper; (3) preliminary
research and final examination result from the research subjects? argumentative
writing lecturer.}
