N2 - The primary objective of this article is to
identify the mental models that represent a social-scientific
problematic specific to high-school Colombian students. This is followed
by the analysis of the argumentative schemes that these students may
use to justify such models. By using a combined design, fifty two
participants (52 people, 31 women and 21 men between the ages of 15 and
23; with education levels between high school and undergraduate degree)
analyzed the possibility of implementing a mining exploitation project
in a specific region of Colombia that is currently under the
administrative control of one of Colombia’s native communities. The
qualitative analysis showed the presence of 11 models for thinking about
the given social-scientific problematic and a limited range of
argumentation schemes (11); the quantitative analysis through ANOVAs
(variance analysis) showed significant differences regarding the number
of arguments per grade and the mental model. The results are discussed
emphasizing the advantage that proceeds from exploring the students’
argumentative speech from a developmental-cognitive perspective with
significant implications in the educational field.
