Description
Summary:The article aims to show the results of the forms of argumentation in ecology developed by students in the rural context of eighth and ninth grade, on Andean forest and Paramo making approaches of Socioscientific Issues. The study used qualitative methodology and was based on the interpretative hermeneutic paradigm. For the development, a test designed by the authors was applied to attend to the issue proposed. The analysis focuses on the categories of content, structure, and discussion of the argument. The results indicate that students present difficulties in the construction of arguments since they incorrectly relate scientific codes and the justifications or conclusions lack coherence and substantiation to answer questions presented. It was concluded that the evaluation matrix used, the contents addressed and the analysis made, contribute to the understanding of the forms of argumentation used by the participating students.
