"argumentative activity" is correct and can be used in written English.
It refers to any activity or process that involves making or presenting arguments, typically in a debate or discussion. Example: The classroom was abuzz with argumentative activity as the students engaged in a spirited debate about the effects of social media on society.
Other texts portray disputation as a competitive, argumentative activity, a kind of public debate or dispute.
By studying the types of knowledge and collaborative reasoning embedded in argumentative activity, we illustrated how learners attempted to enlarge, fine-tune and revise their own beliefs and conceptions with their peers, thus sharing the cognitive burden of learning (Vygotsky, 1978).
Their results showed that the more subject matter knowledge was applied to a problem case in the argumentative activity, the more knowledge was acquired by the participating individuals.
Second, they display science as a form of communicative, persuasive, even argumentative activity, very similar in these respects to the law.
Support for this assumption comes from a study by Stegmann, Weinberger, and Fischer (2011) that examined the relation between the use of subject matter knowledge in an argumentative activity and individual subject matter knowledge acquisition.
We then describe a new experimental study based on collective reading of multiple texts, and show how this reading impinged on further argumentative activities.
