| Abstract: | The article is a review of the book "Dialogical Argumentation and Reasoning in Elementary Science Classrooms" by Mijung Kim and Wolff-Michael Roth. The book explores the influence of Baruch Spinoza on the development of Lev Vygotsky's ideas and proposes new ideas about talk and knowledgeability in the teaching of scientific argumentation. The authors argue that learning is a social process and emphasize the importance of social interactions, objects, and inscriptions in the development of argumentation skills. The review acknowledges the book's contribution to the field of science education but suggests that it may not lead to significant changes in current practices. [Extracted from the article] |
