Argumentation in Higher Education offers professors, lecturers and researchers informative guidance for teaching effective argumentation skills to their undergraduate and graduate students. This professional guide aims to make the complex topic of argumentation open and transparent. Grounded in empirical research and theory, but with student voices heard strongly throughout, this book fills the gap of argumentation instruction for the undergraduate and graduate level.

Written to enlighten even the most experienced professor, this text contributes to a better understanding of the demands of speaking, writing, and visual argumentation in higher education, and will undoubtedly inform and enhance course design. The book argues for a more explicit treatment of argument (the product) and argumentation (the process) in higher education, so that the ground rules of the academic discipline in question are made clear. Each chapter concludes with practical exercises for staff development use.

Topics discussed include:











The importance of argument





The current state of argumentation in higher education





Generic skills in argumentation





The balance between generic and discipline specific skills





Information communication technologies and visual argumentation

How can we best teach argumentation so that students feel fully empowered in their academic composition? Professors (new and experienced), lecturers, researchers, professional developers and writing coaches worldwide grappling with this question will find this accessible text to be an extremely valuable resource.

Richard Andrews is Professor in English at the Institute of Education, University of London.

Recenzijas

"Argumentation is not simply contradiction of other viewpoints (as it plays out in many classrooms); it is, rather, an intricate, intriguing, and structured dance of ideas. This book shows how to nurture productive and civilized argumentation in the broader interests of informed and tolerant discourse." Teaching Theology and Religion

"A thought-provoking text and a valuable addition to the library of university teachers in any discipline."--London Review of Education
