This table shows
results for the arguments provided by pairs of students
|
|
We have already
seen what is meant by conflict in this context
|
|
|
|
We have coded
the arguments by distinguishing three types:
|
|
CLICK
|
|
"Accept"
is an argument in favor of a choice
|
|
CLICK
|
|
"Condition"
is a type of argument which allows students to assign a condition to their
choice.
|
|
CLICK
|
|
"Discard"
corresponds to an argument rejecting another choice
|
|
CLICK
|
|
It is
interesting to notice that almost all the "Condition" arguments
were given in a conflictual situation.
|
|
We think this is
a way of solving the conflict by coordinating the different opinions.
|
|
Let's also
notice that this type of argument violates the instruction to give an
argument to support only one choice
|
|
BUT it matches
the pedagogical goal of the activity because it brings students to use
situational facts to justify their choice
