About this document
Argumentation in Science Education by Ana Laura Soto is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This article discusses supporting and promoting argumentation discourse in science education. It argues that while curriculum innovations have impacted practical activities, they have had little influence on teacher-student discourse patterns. The authors advocate shifting the focus to how evidence is used to construct explanations in science, and the criteria used to evaluate evidence and explanations. The goal is to educate students about science as a way of knowing, not just detailing facts.
