ELEMENTS OF ARGUMENTATIVE TEACHING IN THE CLASSROOM: A PROPOSAL FOR ANALYSIS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE PERELMAN AND OLBRECHTS-TYTECA THEORY
Argumentation, Science Education, Chaïm Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca
This research presented within the studies of the argumentation in science teaching. Our research problem involves determining which features of Perelman and Olbrechts's Theory of Argumentation can be transposed to analyze the argumentative character of a teacher's discourse in front of her students in the classroom. This theory will be our theoretical and methodological framework, and our analysis will be guided by elements of Discursive Textual Analysis. In our results, we realized that, of the thirteen a priori categories, which were expected to be transposed, only one was not contemplated. As a result, we conclude that bringing Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca corresponds to a methodological contribution to the analysis of argumentative processes in classrooms.
