Teacher Questioning Strategies in Supporting Validity of Collective Argumentation: Explanation Adapted from Habermas' Communicative Theory
Zhuang, Yuling; Conner, AnnaMarie
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (42nd, Mazatlán, Mexico and Online, May 27-Jun 6, 2021)
Facilitating productive mathematical argumentation is challenging; it is critical to develop a specific guiding vision of practices to help teachers learn to teach argumentation. However, what counts as acceptable classroom-based mathematical argumentation remains an open question. In this study, building on Habermas' theory of communicative action, we developed two analytic frameworks to examine questioning strategies used to support the validity of collective mathematical argumentation. Habermas' three components of rationality allowed us to focus on fine-grained rationality components of teacher questioning as well as teachers' intentions of asking these questions. The theory of validity claims was used to capture different forms of validating argumentation. The frameworks may help teachers to be aware of the types of questions that they are asking when aiming at supporting valid argumentation. [For the complete proceedings, see ED629884.]
