Title
Building Integrative Arguments: Student Immediacy and Collaborative Reasoning Discussions
Synopsis
Despite the research and need for dialogic learning in classrooms, teachers still hesitate to implement this method. As many of the studies done on collaborative discussions, focus on pre-and post-discussion essays, there is still a need to understand the interactive processes that take place during these discussions that have led to promising outcomes. This paper aimed at exploring the relationship between student dialogic moves and the arguments proposed in the discussions.
