ARGUMENTATION PROFILE CHARTS AS TOOLS FOR ANALYSING STUDENTS' ARGUMENTATIONS

Traditional argument theories focus on how the structure of statements determines their contribution to an argument. Such theories are useful in analysing arguments as products, or for analysing the sub-arguments that are generated during an argumentation. This paper outlines a method for analysing an argumentation as a process, focusing on the social interactions between pairs of Year 8 students and the teacher-researcher in the context of geometric reasoning.
