Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...

Routes of Persuasion02:20

Routes of Persuasion

69.1K
Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting

252
Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role...

Persuasion Strategies

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Critical Thinking

Critical thinking involves reflective and productive thinking and the evaluation of evidence. Critical thinkers seek to understand the deeper meaning of ideas, question assumptions, and make independent decisions about what to believe or do. Scientists, for instance, are often critical thinkers. Critical thinking also requires humility about what we know and don't know and the motivation to look beyond the obvious. It is essential for effective problem-solving.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

When students argue to reach consensus, they better co-construct knowledge by integrating ideas. This contrasts with arguing to persuade, which limits discussion and learning outcomes in science education.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Science Education
  • Discourse Analysis

Background:

  • Argumentative discourse is increasingly used in education.
  • Previous research indicates discourse goals (persuasion vs. consensus) impact student learning and reasoning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze argumentative discourse data to understand how discourse differences explain variations in student learning and reasoning outcomes.
  • Investigate the relationship between discourse goals and knowledge co-construction.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 105 audio-recorded and transcribed dialogues from 7th-grade science students.
  • Students were assigned to either a 'persuasion' or 'consensus' argumentative discourse condition.
  • Participants discussed renewable energy topics after instruction, with assigned discourse goals.

Main Results:

  • Persuasion condition dialogues featured shorter exchanges and discussion-limiting moves.
  • Consensus condition dialogues showed more eliciting, elaborating, and integrating of partners' ideas.
  • Students in the consensus group were more likely to co-construct knowledge.

Conclusions:

  • Arguing to reach consensus, rather than defend a conclusion, promotes knowledge co-construction through argument integration.
  • Teachers should consider discourse goals when implementing argumentation to enhance learning and reasoning.
  • Findings support the potential of argumentation for fostering knowledge building in educational settings.
