JoinResearch and Teaching: Use of Toulmin's Argumentation Scheme for Student Discourse to Gain Insight About Guided Inquiry Activities in College Chemistry
Although student production of arguments in group learning environments has been shown to promote scientific reasoning and understanding of science concepts, little previous work has examined the relationship of the structure of curricular materials to the production of argumentation. In this study the authors examined this relationship for a collection of published guided inquiry activities in a general chemistry course.
