Session Type: Symposium
Argumentation is at the core of democratic education; it is how we discuss, debate, and work to compromise. Argumentation’s prominence in K-12 content standards calls on teachers and teacher educators to deepen their understanding of its nature and purposes. This symposium presents argumentation from several perspectives, including K-12 disciplinary teaching and other contexts (i.e., teacher education, engineering, law, medicine), and discusses both the emergence of argumentation as a key practice across K-12 and its role in the professions and fostering a democratic education. Presentations will be enhanced by collaboration among presenters and participants that identify argumentation pedagogies to prepare youth to contribute to our society – as citizens and professionals – and pedagogies to prepare teachers to engage in this work.
