“…As a consequence, a new realism has emerged (Bhaskar, 1978(Bhaskar, , 1979Harre, 1970Harre, , 1972Manicas & secord, 1983), building on such arguments' as Toulmin's (1972) which we have already examined. In this view, "the practices of science generate their own rational criteria in terms of which theory is accepted or rejected.…”

“…The ontology of the evidence maps in Belvédère is inspired by a Toulminian perspective on argumentation, with claims, warrants, backings, et cetera (Toulmin, 1958;Toulmin, Rieke, & Janik, 1984). When students create evidence maps they can use a number of objects (principle, hypothesis, data, unspecified) and a number of simplified relations (for, against, and).…”

Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments, particularly environments where students share external representations, are discussed as an interesting area for the application of cognitive load theory (CLT). CSCL environments share a number of characteristics that will induce considerable cognitive load. This article reflects on the characteristics of CSCL environments and external representations and the research opportunities they offer to CLT. We argue that CLT can contribute to our understanding of CSCL by pinpointing situations in which high levels of cognitive load are generated. CLT also raises a number of particular issues: from a CLT point of view studying of worked out external representations may lead to better learning outcomes than (co)-construction which is the standard mode of operation in CSCL. The ontology and specificity of the representational scheme used are crucial factors, as they define what can be expressed and how much room for interpretation is left in the representation. CLT may help identify mismatches between representational schemes and execution of (sub)tasks. CLT has lead to a number of recommendations on the integration of diagrammatic and textual information. We relate this to discussion and chat facilities in CSCL and describe how these can be more firmly anchored in the external representation. 

“…135-136), he initially developed his layout to describe non-mathematical argument. 2 However, he later applied the layout to Theaetetus's proof that there are exactly five platonic solids (Toulmin et al, 1979). Aberdein has shown that Toulmin's argumentation structure can represent more complex mathematical proofs; such as the proof that there are irrational numbers α and β such that α β is rational (Aberdein, 2005), and the classical proof of the Intermediate Value Theorem (Aberdein, 2006).…”

Bridging the Gap Between Argumentation Theory and the Philosophy of Mathematics

et al. 2008

Abstract. We argue that there are mutually beneficial connections to be made between ideas in argumentation theory and the philosophy of mathematics, and that these connections can be suggested via the process of producing computational models of theories in these domains. We discuss Lakatos's work (1976) in which he championed the informal nature of mathematics, and our computational representation of his theory. In particular, we outline our representation of Cauchy's proof of Euler's conjecture, which uses work by Haggith on argumentation structures, and identify connections between these structures and Lakatos's methods.
