CSCL argumentation systems: how do empirical results and emerging technologies inform system development?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Workshop Content Many CSCL systems at least implicitly relate to argumentation since they allow students to learn and construct knowledge collaboratively. There has been considerable effort in developing and assessing educational technology to support argumentation within the CSCL community. Many of these efforts have been shown to be effective for specific argumentation domains. At the same time, the general design problem of how to support a learner’s acquisition of argumentation skills via computer support has not been solved and is still an important item on today’s CSCL research agenda. Also, the affordances of new technologies (e.g., Web 2.0, Social Software, collaborative virtual environments, mobile devices, etc.) for argumentative CSCL systems have not been thoroughly investigated yet. The central goal of this workshop is to bring together two types of researchers, (a) those with an educational/psychological background who are interested in approaches to support the acquisition of argumentation skills and empirical studies, and (b) those with a more technology-oriented perspective who are interested in groupware systems for argumentation and the novel opportunities that come with “Social Software”, emerging web technologies, and other modern programming principles and technologies. These two groups will have the opportunity to meet and discuss the technological implications of recent empirical findings on argumentation and to discuss which aspects of novel technologies are worth further empirical investigation from the viewpoint of argumentation.

An architecture for intelligent CSCL argumentation systems
Argumentation is a key research area within CSCL. Yet, while many empirical studies investigating the educational benefits of various forms of collaborative argumentation have been conducted, there has not been much work done towards developing generic and reusable software architectures for collaborative argumentation that have the potential to reduce the development time for argumentation lea...

Lencucha and Thow tackle the enormous public health challenge of developing non-communicable disease (NCD) policy coherence within a world structured and ruled by neoliberalism. Their work compliments scholarship on other causal mechanisms, including the commercial determinants of health, that have contributed to creating the risk commodity environment and barriers to N...
متن کاملGroup emotions: the social and cognitive functions of emotions in argumentation
The learning sciences of today recognize the tri-dimensional nature of learning as involving cognitive, social and emotional phenomena. However, many computer-supported argumentation systems still fail in addressing the socioemotional aspects of group reasoning, perhaps due to a lack of an integrated theoretical vision of how these three dimensions interrelate to each other. This paper presents...
