Argument Pedagogy for Everyday Life

Abstract

This article assists argumentation and debate instructors in developing courses that provide coverage of foundational concepts while reflecting their own interests. Courses in argumentation and debate also offer instructors an opportunity to teach through applied engagement with contemporary events. We encourage instructors to reflect on the various contexts of argumentation and debate as well as challenging questions concerning the role of technology in the classroom, the conflict between normative and descriptive examples of argumentation, how much to emphasize the role of argumentation and debate in societal change, and the connections between argumentation and deliberation.

The “Green” Electrochemical Synthesis of Periodate

“…It is known to disintegrate slowly during electrolysis which causes contaminations . The mass loss of the anodes is up to 2.5 g (A h) −1 , and even the loss of particles was reported . The toxicity of lead is inacceptable for regulated products, and its removal is cumbersome and economically prohibitive.…”

“…However, the undivided cell necessitated the use of highly toxic anti‐reducing agents . Further electrochemical syntheses of periodate are known starting from iodine and iodate . However, iodate is more than twice as expensive as iodide, and iodine is difficult to handle on a technical scale.…”

“…The integration of Toulmin's model with other analytical approaches such as the argument-level scheme has the potential to lead to the ability to define many facets of argument in different fields (Simon, 2008). Several researchers have utilized Toulmin's model of argumentation in their studies to analyze and illustrate different aspects of argument (e.g., Simosi, 2003;Simon, 2008;Hoeken et al, 2012;Kathpalia and and See, 2016;Metaxas et al, 2016;Pedemonte and Balacheff, 2016;Moon et al, 2017;Drury et al, 2019). Kathpalia and and See (2016) focused on 100 university student blogs written before instruction concerning argumentation and after instruction on argumentation during a classroom writing course.…”

“…Toulmin model of argument structure is an old-fashioned model but it has been enjoying a consistent revival over time because of its utility in the research studies on argumentation. Several researchers such as Metaxas et al (2016), Kathpalia and and See (2016), Pedemonte and Balacheff (2016), Moon et al (2017), andDrury et al (2019) used the Toulmin model to identify weaknesses and strengths of argument structures in the context of students' classroom discussions.…”
