Helping students develop the ability to construct high-quality arguments and to engage in productive argumentation with others is now widely seen as an essential goal of schooling that should be at the forefront of our efforts to develop an educated citizenry. From major policy documents, academic publications, and the popular press, we hear the call for teachers to prepare their students to make well-reasoned judgments about complex, controversial issues. Today, students are expected to actively engage in knowledge construction through inquiry and argumentation, by asking questions, defining problems, challenging the ideas of others, formulating their own positions, and supplying reasons and evidence for what otherwise would be unsupported opinions. These ambitious educational goals call for profound changes in the roles and responsibilities traditionally assigned to students and teachers. They require creative solutions, which include the use of innovative pedagogies and technologies.This project will organize a workshop to support a dialogue among scholars in argumentation and technology, creating a shared space for researchers to discuss existing barriers and blind spots and engage in cross-disciplinary collaboration. During the two-day, online workshop, participants will present innovative research in their respective fields and form cross-disciplinary teams to discuss opportunities for joint projects and grant applications. In addition, participants will complete an open-ended online survey to address ideas, barriers, and opportunities for continued collaboration. They will also evaluate their experience during the workshop and suggest improvements for promoting dialogue between the fields of argumentation and technology. The workshop will bring together learning scientists specializing in research on argumentation and computer science experts developing innovative technologies, thus supporting frontier research in both fields. It will survey existing challenges in argumentation and technology, identify additional areas of concern, explore possible solutions, and create new opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

帮助学生培养构建高质量论证并与他人进行富有成效的论证的能力现在被广泛视为学校教育的基本目标，应该成为我们培养受过教育的公民的首要目标。从主要政策文件、学术出版物和大众媒体中，我们听到了这样的呼声：教师要让学生做好准备，对复杂、有争议的问题做出合理的判断。今天，学生应该通过探究和论证积极参与知识建构，提出问题，定义问题，挑战他人的想法，制定自己的立场，并为否则没有支持的观点提供理由和证据。这些雄心勃勃的教育目标要求对传统上分配给学生和教师的角色和责任进行深刻的改变。他们需要创造性的解决方案，其中包括使用创新的教学法和技术。该项目将组织一个研讨会，支持学者之间在论证和技术方面的对话，为研究人员创造一个共享空间，讨论现有的障碍和盲点，并参与跨学科研究。学科合作。在为期两天的在线研讨会上，参与者将展示各自领域的创新研究，并组成跨学科团队讨论联合项目和拨款申请的机会。此外，参与者将完成一项开放式在线调查，以解决持续合作的想法、障碍和机会。他们还将评估研讨会期间的经验，并提出改进建议，以促进论证和技术领域之间的对话。该研讨会将汇集专门从事论证研究的学习科学家和开发创新技术的计算机科学专家，从而支持这两个领域的前沿研究。它将调查论证和技术方面现有的挑战，确定其他值得关注的领域，探索可能的解决方案，并为跨学科合作创造新的机会。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势进行评估，被认为值得支持以及更广泛的影响审查标准。
