To examine the application and utility of Toulmin’s Argument Pattern in analyzing oral argumentation, guiding teacher professional development, and evaluating student learning in school science.
Adapted Toulmin's Argument Pattern (TAP) into materials for a teacher professional development programme focused on modeling scientific debate.
Applied TAP-derived analytical frameworks to evaluate classroom oral discourse and student performance outcomes during argumentation software use.
Toulmin-based materials effectively aided teachers in conceptualizing argumentation and successfully modeling argument structure for students.
TAP frameworks functioned as reliable evaluative tools for student interactions with software, though prioritizing argumentation structure over the factual accuracy and quality of underlying evidence.
