COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course Level Doctorate Degree
Course Type Elective
Course Objective The purpose of this course, students will learn to structured and arranged of arguments and gain the ability to use arguments in science topics.
Course Content This course deals with how arguments (i.e. logical statements which attempt to prove something) are structured and arranged. We will be concerned with determining what is logically correct and what is fallacious reasoning, using Stephen Toulmin's system of analyzing arguments. In addition, we will consider what makes arguments, strong and effective (in a field science). A portion of the course will be devoted to discussing how arguments are used in science education. During the course students will analyze, orally and in writing, arguments from texts and from everyday life (editorials, speeches, materials from other courses, etc.). The major project for the course involves constructing a comprehensive research on issues of science and technology in the curriculum about for oral and written presentation. -Argumentation in Science Education -Cognitive Foundation of Learning Argumentation -Methodological Foundation in the Study of Argumentation in the Science Classrooms -What can argumentation tell us about epistemology -Designing Argumentation Learning Environment -Analaysis of Argumentation -Social Aspect of Argumentation -Quality Argumentation -Argumentation in Socio scientific Contexts -The role of moral reasoning in Argumentation -Technology-enhanced learning Environments to Support Students -Science Teacher Education and Professional Development in Argumentation
