Quality and Evolution of Teachers’ Argumentation in Marine Fish Resource Issue CHIU, Yu-wen, YU, Shu-mey, HSIAO, Ming-chun, HUANG, Hsin-chiao Graduate Institute of Science Application and Dissemination, National Taichung University R.O.C, Taiwan
Objectives of the study ● the differences of argumentation quality -from different epistemological views -in three rounds -Biology major & Science teaching ● evolution of teachers’ argumentation
Qualifier Data Claim Warrant Rebuttal Backing Theoretical framework ● Toulmin Argumentation Pattern (TAP) (Toulmin, 1958)
●Evolution of argument - Change - Evolution - No change (Jim’enez-Aleixandre and Pereiro-Munoz , 2005) ● Epistemological views - Empiricist-aligned (E) - Mixed (M) - Constructivist-oriented (C) (Tsai & Liu, 2005)
Subjects ●Twenty in-service primary and high school teachers who are studying for a science education master degree in central Taiwan Central Taiwan
Instrument ●Socio-scientific issue “What marine fish resource policyshouldpolicy makers made in order to deal withthe crises of marine fish resource?” Provide your own reason based on your assigned role.
Design ●The task is set in e-learning system ●Teachers are asked to engage in three-round argumentation – Making arguments – Responding others’ arguments and refining arguments – Group discussion in the classroom
Data Collection and Analysis ●Components & Quality of argumentation - Epistemological views - Three Rounds analysis - Biology major & Science teaching ●Evolution of argumentation ● Inter-rater consistency of .90 is achieved
Arguments of different epistemological views C: claim; D: data; W: warrant; R: rebuttal; Q: qualifier; B: backing E: empiricist-aligned; M: mixed; C: constructivist-oriented
Quality of different epistemological views 0: Level 0; 1: Level 1; 2: Level 2; 3: Level 3; 4: Level 4
Comparison of arguments in three rounds R1: the first round argumentation, R2: the second round argumentation, R3: the third round argumentation
Quality of argumentation in three rounds 0: Level 0; 1: Level 1; 2: Level 2; 3: Level 3; 4: Level 4
Biology Major, Science Teaching BN: Biology major, Science teaching; BN: Biology major, Non-science teaching NS: Non-biology major, Science teaching; NN: Non-biology major, Non-science teaching
Change in teachers’ positions *one have both change and evolution
Conclusion & Suggestion ●Empiricist-aligned teachers have better quality. ● Teachers have better quality in R2. ● BS have better scores on level 3. ● Constructivist-oriented teachers get more changes.
