“…Our goal was to focus on those data sequences that contained student arguments and teacher's pedagogical practices related to the epistemic climate. We analyzed the students' arguments according to the levels of epistemic cognition (Kuhn, 1999) as well as their length and quality (Walton, Reed, & Macagno, 2008;Walton & Macagno, 2016).…”

The purpose of this qualitative research paper was to explore the role of a teacher in supporting students' epistemic understanding and argumentation. The main subject of our research was expert teacher Daniela, who had been teaching Czech language arts for twelve years and undertook a developmental program on dialogic teaching three years prior to this study. Data were gathered through structured observations, six video recordings of teaching, and several interviews with the teacher and students. The findings showed that the teacher tried to depersonalise students' arguments and sought to make the argument jointly owned by everybody in the classroom so that it was possible to discuss the nature of the argument and not the student's personal opinion. The findings reveal that the depersonalisation is a unique procedure that could increase students' participation in dialogic argumentation while preserving their personal opinions.

“…A detailed review on argumentation diagrams and their connection with other fields such as formal and informal logic, law, and artificial intelligence is presented in [21]. As the goal of this review paper is neither the connection of argument diagrams to modern AM techniques as in [36], nor the introduction of a classification system for argumentation schemes [42] in this subsection a synopsis of the five more influential diagrams is presented and they are evaluated based on their suitability for the tasks of AM in noisy text. It has to be stressed that the AM diagrams have not been specifically designed to serve the modern construction of arguments as expressed in social media, as the tasks of detection, classification and evaluation of argumentative content in noisy text require more flexible schemes, such the one proposed in the subsection 5.1.…”

Argumentation mining is a rising subject in the computational linguistics domain focusing on extracting structured arguments from natural text, often from unstructured or noisy text. The initial approaches on modeling arguments was aiming to identify a flawless argument on specific fields (Law, Scientific Papers) serving specific needs (completeness, effectiveness). With the emerge of Web 2.0 and the explosion in the use of social media both the diffusion of the data and the argument structure have changed. In this survey article, we bridge the gap between theoretical approaches of argumentation mining and pragmatic schemes that satisfy the needs of social media generated data, recognizing the need for adapting more flexible and expandable schemes, capable to adjust to the argumentation conditions that exist in social media. We review, compare, and classify existing approaches, techniques and tools, identifying the positive outcome of combining tasks and features, and eventually propose a conceptual architecture framework. The proposed theoretical framework is an argumentation mining scheme able to identify the distinct sub-tasks and capture the needs of social media text, revealing the need for adopting more flexible and extensible frameworks.

“…In the above framework, an argument is abstract and can be differently instantiated according to various contexts [22]. In general, an argument gives a reason for believing a claim, or for doing an action and it is commonly seen as a set of statements composed of one (or more) premise(s) and a conclusion linked by a logical relation.…”

In socioeconomic systems, where actors are motivated by different objectives, interests and priorities, it is very difficult to meet all involved party expectations when proposing new solutions. Argumentative approaches have been proposed and demonstrated to be of added value when addressing such decision making problems. In this paper we focus on the following research question: "How to define an attack relation for argumentative decision making in socioeconomic systems?" To address this question we propose three kinds of attacks that could be defined in the context of a precise application (packaging selection) and see how the non computer science experts evaluate, against a given set of decision tasks, each of these attacks.
