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点的能力，以及与他人进行富有成效的辩论的能力，现在被广泛视为学校教育的一个基本目标，这应该是我们培养受过教育的公民努力的首要目标。从主要的政策文件、学术出版物和大众媒体中，我们听到了要求教师培养学生对复杂的、有争议的问题做出合理判断的呼吁。今天，学生们被期望通过探究和论证，通过提出问题，定义问题，挑战他人的观点，形成自己的立场，并为不被支持的观点提供理由和证据，积极参与知识建设。这些雄心勃勃的教育目标要求深刻改变传统上分配给学生和教师的角色和责任。它们需要创造性的解决方案，其中包括使用创新的教学方法和技术。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讨论现有障碍和盲点并进行跨学科合作的共享空间。在为期两天的网上研讨会中，参加者将展示各自领域的创新研究，并组成跨学科小组，讨论联合项目和拨款申请的机会。此外，参与者将完成一份开放式在线调查，以解决继续合作的想法、障碍和机会。他们还将评价他们在讲习班期间的经验，并为促进辩论和技术领域之间的对话提出改进建议。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的现有挑战，确定其他关注领域，探索可能的解决方案，并为跨学科合作创造新的机会。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
