The goal is to teach basic conceptual foundations of linguistics and the methods of argumentation, justification, and hypothesis testing within the field.
In this paper, we present an in-depth analysis of the data obtained in the empirical test of an argumentation platform where a 160-member community created, in 3 weeks, what is to our knowledge the largest single online argument map ever built (around 5000 posts).
If one assumes this requirement, then one can arrive at Habermas's specific conception of reasonable moral discourse by working out the implications of his argumentation theory for the discursive testing of unconditional moral obligations.
At its best, a peer group produces an investigative and deliberate discussion that involves the presentation and testing of hypotheses, deduction and argumentation as well as the planning and evaluation of problemsolving processes.
(2014) trained students to follow seven different argumentation characteristics in reading original science literature and tested students both before and after instruction to measure the impact of such training.
Karyn McWhirter (recommended by Pauline Hawkins - @PaulineDHawkins) notes that "if an assessment is not a quality thinking/communicating task, then giving it to students is a waste of time". She has found that preparing students for AP tests is helping them to learn analysis, argumentation, and communication.
In conclusion, we believe that the challenge of implementing abstract argumentation systems is a perfect play-ground to apply and test different techniques on a set of uniform yet computationally manifold problems which are given by the different semantics for abstract argumentation.
As long-term future work, we intend to use system-generated questions and human-generated questions of highest quality to test whether they are actually useful for students in the argumentation process.
Political opinions, she claimed, can never be formed in private; rather, they are formed, tested, and enlarged only within a public context of argumentation and debate.
