Collaborative practice is essential for supporting students with additional needs in schools and often requires working across multiple disciplines. We explored the collaborative interactions of two professions in an interdisciplinary problem-solving task. Teacher candidates and speech pathology students were audio and video recorded working…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of argumentation, during the hypothetico-deductive reasoning (HDR) process in the problem-based learning (PBL) approach, on nursing students' achievements and to determine the argumentation levels in the biochemistry course on the topic of endocrine and nervous systems. The participants…

While dissent is recognized as a necessary component of scientific knowledge production, in school settings, it is a double-edged sword that can disrupt and undermine social cohesion just as it can promote thinking and creativity. This pilot study explores patterns of dissent in a science education context. It uses a mixed-methods approach to…

The purpose of this research is to determine the conceptual understanding of pre-service science teachers about "Colligative properties", which are aimed to be taught within the scope of Chemistry-II course, within the framework of the argumentation-supported problem based learning (AS-PBL) method. The study, in which 24 pre-service…

This study aims to examine the effects of argumentation-supported problem-based learning (AS-PBL) carried out in the Chemistry-II laboratory course on the conceptual understanding of prospective science teachers about "Chemical equilibrium and Le-Chatelier's principle". The prospective teachers' answers were analyzed using content…

Supervision in higher education (HE) often balances the tension between fostering student autonomy and providing sufficient guidance, especially within undergraduate programs. This paper explores an under-researched area: the dynamics of group supervision in undergraduate education, specifically how students challenge their supervisor's expertise.…

The literature widely reports that pre-service teachers repeatedly demonstrate inadequate argumentation skills. Through a mixed-methods research approach, this study investigated the effectiveness of a holistic online scaffolding design for guiding the development of pre-service teachers' argumentation skills. Participants were randomly assigned…

Scientific writing is essential for students to express their idea and to report their research. Problem-based learning model directs students to solve problems and report them in the form of scientific articles. The report is written logically and systematically. The research used a quasi-experiment method with 62 students as participants. The…

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of using argumentation and problem-based learning approaches on the development of environmentally responsible behaviours among pre-service science teachers. Experimental activities were implemented for 14 weeks for 52 class hours in an environmental education class within a science…

This study aims to determine the effect of the PBL model with argumentation scaffolding on changes in the critical thinking of teacher candidates teachers in terms of personality type and gender. This research is a quasi-experimental research with one group pretest-posttest design. 28 prospective teachers who take the algebraic structure course…

Best instructional methods are essential tools to bring desirable changes in pre-service science teachers. The available literature lacks enough meta-analytic review illustrating the effect of various instructional methods on pre-service science teachers' learning outcomes. This meta-analytic review identified instructional methods used for…

Engineering professionals need to employ argumentative skills to support their decisions. This research presents the findings of an intervention that was designed and implemented at two universities in Colombia, South America, to help students enhance their written argumentative skills through essays on ethical dilemmas. Engineering professors…

This study aims to explore the effects of argumentation with the concept map method during medical problem-based learning (PBL) on individual clinical reasoning. Individual clinical reasoning ability was assessed through problem-solving performance and arguments that students constructed during individual clinical reasoning processes. Toulmin's…

Argumentation, as a kind of classroom discourse, is beneficial for establishing mathematical knowledge taking place in classroom conversations. It can enhance learners' development of subject matter knowledge. Hence, this case study was designed to examine the effect of argumentations on developing subject matter knowledge in detail in…

The purpose of the current article is to test and revise the hypothetical learning trajectory designed for teaching quadrilaterals by reporting the classroom mathematical practices emerged in a social learning environment developing preservice middle school mathematics teachers' understanding of quadrilaterals. Ten preservice teachers participated…
