Argumentation is a social practice that can lead to epistemic outcomes, that is, to the construction of knowledge. Recent research in collaborative learning has pointed out the significance of affective and motivational aspects, as well as the influence of socio-relational concerns, which have been found to frequently take priority over epistemic o...
Chapter
In Education for Sustainable Development, the promotion of environmentally responsible behaviours is a priority. This study examines dispositional traits of critical thinking related to the inclination to revise worldviews, challenge socially established ideas and engage in critical action (Jiménez-Aleixandre & Puig, this volume). We examine percei...

Argumentative discourse has a complexity that is not entirely captured by purely structural analyses. In arguments about socio-scientific issues (SSI), a range of dimensions, besides scientific knowledge, including values, ethical concerns, cultural habits, or emotions, are mobilized. The relationship between argumentation and emotions is now drawi...

In particular, it analyses the type of criteria that are used by pre-service teachers when assessing the adequacy of several scientific procedures for identifying microplastics in beach sand, as well as determi...

This study examines how pre-service teachers and high school students perceive five dimensions of diet (nutritional, environmental, economic, ethical and cultural-personal), particularly focusing on environment. The research quest...
Chapter
