This study is a descriptive qualitative research that analyse the communication patterns appear in teaching and learning process by using students^ scientific literacy and argumentation skills worksheet. The sample was selected using purposive sampling technique. The data were collected using observer field notes and documentation study. The lessons recorded using cameras and camcorders devices were transcribed and analysed using the Excel program based on the number of words spoken by students and teachers. The frequency of keywords appeared in science learning was fully considered. The data were transformed into graphs. The low achievement indicators of students^ scientific literacy and argumentation skills are caused because they are still not accustomed to expressing what is on their minds and the lack of conceptual knowledge about specific topic provided in students worksheet. The result implies that TBLA is an effective method to reflect on teaching and learning practices in order to improve learning quality for better instructional practices.
