Abstract

This paper reports the analysis of the online discourse of students on an online platform in a Hong Kong primary school. A framework is adopted to identify the relationship of argumentation and knowledge building discourse, which integrates a category of argumentative speech acts. This paper puts emphasis on the effect of argumentation in knowledge building processes, and provides insight on patterns in secondary students' online threaded discussions. It is found that argumentation process is regarded to play an effective role in the process of collaborative knowledge building, at least in the first couple of notes in a sustained thread.
