Question

High school students are engaged in an activity in which they work collaboratively to compare arguments for and against the use of iPads in their classroom. They have been tasked with arriving at a constructive conclusion to determine which idea is right or best. What type of argumentation are they using?

Answer 1

Answer: Deliberative

Explanation: Arguments which are embarked upon by members of a group usually in other to explain the different sides of a particular topic. In other words, deliberative arguments usually involves members of a group which work collectively to show people the pros and cons of a certain topic or subject before finally arriving at a certain general conclusion or consensus. In deliberative arguments, the objective or goal of the topic is already known by the collaborating proposed, but in other to resolve underlying unambiguities, participants first come up with different and incompatible views before finally reaching a consensus.
