Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Vogel, Freydis; Kollar, Ingo; Ufer, Stefan; Strohmaier, Anselm; Reiss, Kristina; Fischer, Frank – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2021
Argumentative scripts for computer-supported collaborative learning are scaffolds that prompt learners to take over distributed roles and to move through a sequence of activities that specify an argumentative learning discourse. Argumentative scripts may lead to suboptimal effects on learning outcomes when their level of scaffolding does not fit…

Hefter, Markus H.; ten Hagen, Inga; Krense, Claudia; Berthold, Kirsten; Renkl, Alexander – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
A rising number of (online) learning scenarios feature video-based worked examples. We analyzed the effects of the presentation mode of worked examples on their effectiveness and efficiency in two experiments with university students (N[subscript 1] = 57; N[subscript 2] = 43). The students acquired argumentation knowledge by self-explaining…

Hefter, Markus H.; Renkl, Alexander; Riess, Werner; Schmid, Sebastian; Fries, Stefan; Berthold, Kirsten – Journal of Experimental Education, 2018
Argumentative thinking requires not only the "skill" to apply argumentative strategies such as supporting theories with evidence but also the "will" to apply these strategies by considering argumentative thinking to be both reasonable and worthwhile. Focusing on direct instruction for the initial acquisition of both skill and…

Improving Scientific Argumentation Skills by a Problem-Based Learning Environment: Effects of an Elaboration Tool and Relevance of Student Characteristics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Stark, Robin; Puhl, Thomas; Krause, Ulrike-Marie – Evaluation & Research in Education, 2009
Starting from difficulties that students of education display when they interpret empirical findings and generate scientific arguments, a problem-based e-learning environment was developed. Based on first evaluation data, an elaboration tool was integrated into the learning environment. The tool consisted of a modelling and an explanation part. In…
