How argumentation theory can inform assessment validity: A critical review. [PDF]

Med Educ, 2022
Abstract Introduction Many health professions education (HPE) scholars frame assessment validity as a form of argumentation in which interpretations and uses of assessment scores must be supported by evidence.

Brothers in Arms: Virtue and Pragma-Dialectics

Argumentation, 2017
Virtue argumentation theory focuses on the arguers’ character, whereas pragma-dialectics focuses on argumentation as a procedure. In this paper I attempt to explain that both theories are not opposite approaches to argumentation. I argue that, with the help of some non-fundamental changes in pragma-dialectics and some restrictions in virtue ...

The Logical Perspective in Pragma-dialectics

Topoi
AbstractI argue that the logical perspective—the study of arguments as products—is not well integrated into pragma-dialectics. I show that the Validity Rule and the Argumentation Scheme Rule, despite being procedural rules, are, in a certain sense, “logical” rules.

Pragma-dialectics and the problem of agreement

Topoi
AbstractPragma-Dialectics (PD) is an approach to argumentation that can be described as disagreement-centric. On PD, disagreement is the condition which defines argument, it is the practical problem to be solved by it, and disagreement’s management is the ultimate source of argument’s normativity.

Convincing in Pragma-Dialectics: A Critical Reassessment

Topoi
AbstractWhat does it mean to convince? In the pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation, convincing is done by arguments. The perlocutionary act of convincing is fundamentally related to the illocutionary act of arguing. I propose a critical reassessment of this relationship.

Fallacies in Pragma-Dialectical Perspective [PDF]

Argumentation, 1987
In the pragma-dialectical approach, fallacies are considered incorrect moves in a discussion for which the goal is successful resolution of a dispute. Ten rules are given for effective conduct at the various stages of such a critical discussion (confrontation, opening, argumentation, concluding).

Characterizing Reflective Diary Writing as an Argumentative Activity Type

Informal Logic, 2022
This paper is focused on the practice of unsolicited, reflective diary writing as an act of externalizing internal dialogue. I suggest that it should be analyzed as an argumentative practice from the point of view of pragma-dialectics. In the first part
