An Examination of Children's Scientific Argumentation
written by
Danielle B. Harlow and Valerie K. Otero
This paper describes preliminary results of the analysis of a subset of data in which third grade children argue about how current travels through a simple circuit in a whole-class discussion. A model of four distinct patterns of argumentation among these eight-year-old children is proposed and described in this discussion.
