Abstract

The research presented in this paper focuses on checking how the construction of critical social thinking progresses in secondary schools through the development of argumentative competence, valuing its strengths and weaknesses, proposing improvements and providing tools for teachers to introduce argumentation into their classes. To do this we designed didactic sequences, activities for the teaching and learning of argumentation, bases of orientation and self-regulation tools to guide the argumentative productions of students.

Keywords
