Three Dimensions of Dialogicity in Dialogic Argumentation
2019
Three dimensions of dialogicity are emphasised in the literature: dialogic teacher talk, students' dialogic moves and organising for dialogic teaching. In this article, we examine these dimensions and the interplay between them in supporting dialogic argumentation in the context of whole-class discussions in mathematics and physics. Three seemingly different seventh-grade lessons were selected for further analysis from the database of a research project on dialogic argumentation. In this paper, we focus on whole-class discussions after a group assignment. The lessons were video recorded with multiple cameras and transcribed. We characterised dialogic features of teacher talk, more general t…
An Online Inquiry Tool to Support the Exploration of Controversial Issues on the Internet
2016
This paper describes a theoretically informed Online Inquiry Tool designed to support the exploration of controversial issues on the Internet. The tool’s design is grounded in principles associated with theories of online research and comprehension, argumentation for learning, representational guidance, and cognitive load. The purpose of the tool is to help students organize, monitor, and regulate several complex cognitive activities likely to present challenges during online inquiry. Supports are embedded into the digital tool to help students plan their information search around a controversial issue, identify supporting arguments and counterarguments related to this issue, critically eva…
Internettekstit argumentoinnin lähteinä: kuudesluokkalaisten heikkojen ja sujuvien lukijoiden argumentointitaidot
2016
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää kuudesluokkalaisten kirjallisia argumentointitaitoja silloin, kun he etsivät tietoa internetistä ottaakseen kantaa kiistanalaiseen asiaan. Lisäksi tarkasteltiin lukusujuvuuden heijastumista näihin taitoihin. Argumentointitaidot ovat keskeisiä taitoja jo lapsille kehittäen muun muassa ymmärtävää oppimista sekä kriittistä internetlukutaitoa. Tutkimus toteutettiin osana Suomen Akatemian rahoittamaa eSeek-hanketta, ja siihen osallistui 341 kuudesluokkalaista. Tutkimuksen aineisto koostui lukusujuvuutta mittaavien testien tuloksista sekä oppilaiden internetiä jäljittelevässä arviointiympäristössä kirjoittamista argumentoivista sähköpostiviesteistä. Viestei…
Lukiolaiset internetlähteiden luotettavuuden arvioijina
2017
Internetin käytön yleistyminen ja saatavilla olevan informaation jatkuva lisääntyminen on tehnyt tiedon luotettavuuden arvioinnista entistä vaikeampaa. Internetlähteiden käyttö lukio-opinnoissa on myös lisääntynyt. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, kuinka hyvin lukiolaiset osaavat arvioida internetlähteiden luotettavuutta. Tutkimus on osa ARONI-tutkimushanketta ja siihen osallistui 186 Hämeenlinnan ja Riihimäen alueiden lukiolaista. Lukiolaiset tekivät internetlukutaitoja mittaavan tehtävän, jonka yhtenä osana tuli etsiä kaksi internetlähdettä rokottamisen pakollisuutta kos-kevaa selvitystä varten. Lähteiden luotettavuus tuli arvioida asteikolla luotettava - melko luotettava - …

Negotiating digital surveillance legislation in post-Snowden times : An argumentation analysis of Finnish political discourse
2019
Abstract In the digital era, when security agencies world-wide have been challenging basic democratic principles with massive data gathering, Finland has had a different approach: it has conducted no large-scale surveillance of citizens’ online activities. Now, however, the country is planning such a vast expansion of state surveillance that the constitution itself must be altered. The present article examines one key point in this legislative process to see how the new surveillance measures are argued for and criticized, and how the differing points of view are negotiated to ultimately enable political action. Drawing particularly on Fairclough and Fairclough’s (2012) approach to argumenta…
Defending either a personal or an assigned standpoint
2018
Abstract This study clarifies whether a specific type of role play supports upper secondary school students’ collaborative argumentation. Data consist of 12 dyadic face-to-face and 12 chat debates. Data analysis focused on the quality of students’ argumentation. Comparisons were made between students who defended standpoints at variance with their personal opinions on the topics, between the two study modes and topics, and by gender. When the students defended a standpoint differing from their personal opinion, the male students engaged in counterargumentation more often than the female students. When, in turn, the students defended their personal standpoint, they produced both counterargum…
Analyzing science teachers’ support of dialogic argumentation using teacher roles of questioning and communicative approaches
2023
The purpose of this study is to investigate how teachers use different types of discourse to support dialogic argumentation. Dialogic argumentation is a collaborative process in which students construct arguments together and examine arguments presented by their peers. Science teachers can use argumentation as a vehicle to help students gain a working understanding of science content and the nature of science and its practices. Whole-class closing discussions from video-recorded lessons are analyzed to study the discourse used to support argumentation by two physics teachers in lower secondary schools. Analysis of discourse includes coding of communicative approach at the episode level and …
Students’ Interpretations of a Persuasive Multimodal Video About Vaccines
2021
The present study investigated students’ (N = 404) interpretations of the main message and use of modes in a persuasive multimodal video on vaccines. It also examined whether students’ topic knowledge, language arts grades, and self-identified gender were associated with their interpretations. Students analyzed a YouTube video in which two entertainers demonstrated the importance of vaccinating children. Students’ interpretations of the usefulness of vaccines varied in terms of quality of reasoning, which was associated with students’ topic knowledge. Notably, many students’ interpretations of the use of modes were incomplete, or they did not even mention certain modes in their response. Th…
University Applicants’ Critical Thinking Skills: The Case of the Finnish Educational Sciences
2016
This study investigates the quality of the critical thinking skills of applicants (n = 77) seeking entry to the faculty of educational sciences in a Finnish university and how these skills are associated with the applicant’s age, previous higher education experience, and matriculation and entrance examination scores. The data consist of the applicants’ responses to problem-solving tasks and their matriculation and entrance examination scores. Critical thinking skills were measured with comparison and argumentation tasks. The results indicate that comparison of the texts and analysis of the arguments they contained were more difficult tasks than putting forward arguments both for and against…
