This pilot study focuses on the potential of Evidence-based Dialogue Mapping as a
participatory action research tool to investigate young teenagers’ scientific argumentation.
Evidence-based Dialogue Mapping is a technique for representing graphically an argumentative
dialogue through Questions, Ideas, Pros, Cons and Data. Our research objective is
to better understand the usage of Compendium, a Dialogue Mapping software tool, as
both (1) a learning strategy to scaffold school pupils’ argumentation and (2) as a
method to investigate the quality of their argumentative essays. The participants
were a science teacher-researcher, a knowledge mapping researcher and 20 pupils, 12-13
years old, in a summer science course for “gifted and talented” children in the UK.
This study draws on multiple data sources: discussion forum, science teacher-researcher’s
and pupils’ Dialogue Maps, pupil essays, and reflective comments about the uses of
mapping for writing. Through qualitative analysis of two case studies, we examine
the role of Evidence-based Dialogue Maps as a mediating tool in scientific reasoning:
as conceptual bridges for linking and making knowledge intelligible; as support for
the linearisation task of generating a coherent document outline; as a reflective
aid to rethinking reasoning in response to teacher feedback; and as a visual language
for making arguments tangible via cartographic conventions. |
