Argumentation in Science Education cover

Educational researchers are bound to see this as a timely work. It brings together the work of leading experts in argumentation in science education. It presents research combining theoretical and empirical perspectives relevant for secondary science classrooms. Since the 1990s, argumentation studies have increased at a rapid pace, from stray papers to a wealth of research exploring ever more sophisticated issues. It is this fact that makes this volume so crucial.

From the reviews:

“Argumentation in Science Education … is a comprehensive and authoritative handbook on ‘school scientific argumentation’ … . The book is principally aimed at researchers in didactics of science … . The book comprises theoretical, empirical, and practical approaches that have clear implications both for analyzing and for fostering argumentation processes in the science classrooms of all educational levels, including teacher education. … provides the readers with many powerful ideas that could eventually be inspected in subsequent investigations.” (A.
