Abstract

That graphic organization, such as concept mapping and argument maps, could help students develop better argumentation abilities and build. In this study, we designed the "computer-aided argumentative essay writing system" to help students learn argumentation structures to enhance their argumentation. This study conducted an experiment on students in an elementary school in New Taipei City for one semester. There were 11 classes in total, and we divided them into three groups: the argument map group, the concept map group, and traditional argumentative group. we have observed the growth and the change of the argumentation skills of the three groups. For the experimental results, we found the argument map group's argumentation skills better than those of the students in the other two groups.
