Abstract
Argumentation is understood here as an intellectual
and social activity by which ideas are defended
or disproven, with the sole purpose of reaching
understandings and agreements. Objective. The
aim of this research project was to characterize the
arguments some primary school students exchanged
while developing learning situations mediated by
the pedagogical use of web 2.0 tools. Materials
and methods. The participants were 65 5th and
7th grader children who actively partook in different
learning tasks framed in a pedagogical classroom
project. The data was collected by analyzing a
set of arguments drawn from the interaction of the
kids in the different tasks: forums, the creation of
digital texts, oral exchanges. A heat map was used
to represent the characterization of the arguments
analyzed. Results. Students produced different
kinds of arguments while interacting in ICT mediated
learning environments, which constitutes an
empirical proof of their cognitive and social skills
to get involved in dialogic and discussion activities.
Conclusions. The results showedthat promoting
argumentation activities in school may help students
develop different competences as they discuss
about their daily experiences, with the mediation of
the teacher, and the support of web 2.0 tools.
