Dialectics as Method and Approach in Educational Research

Educational Human-computer Debate: a Computational Dialectics Approach

Theories of learning suggest that dialogue is important in shaping conceptual development. However, there is widespread debate as to the forms of dialogue and which are effective in an educational context. In addressing these issues, we have analysed current knowledge concerning dialectics in philosophy and education. We propose to adopt a computational dialectical approach to study the issues ...

Nostalgia, transition and the school: an innovative approach of using photographic images as a visual method in educational research

In the context of the study reported in this paper, of transition from nonformal primary schools to formal secondary schools in Bangladesh, the difficulties of smooth school transition relate not only to the making of new relationships and adaptation to new norms in a new environment, but to a very different approach to educating disadvantaged people. The role of images is explored as part of a...

A Human-Computer Dialogue System for Educational Debate: A Computational Dialectics Approach

This paper reports research concerning issues involved in adopting a computational dialectics approach to develop a human-computer dialogue system for educational debate. In particular, we propose a dialogue model and a set of computationally usable strategic heuristics to enable the computer to engage its users in debate on a controversial issue. The system operationalising the proposed dialog...

Dialectics in Knowledge Organization: An Approach

This is a study of dialectics in its own right. Originally, it was a pedagogical means of teaching people to think, reason and engage in dialogue. Later on it became a part of logic and at present it is applied to any human activity, whether intellectual or social, to put forward and contrast arguments which clarify the situations in question. Mention is made to the processes of thesis, antithe...
