Argumentation and reasoned opinion – basic principles
How it works
An argumentation is an objective discussion of a question in which arguments are weighed against each other and a reasoned opinion is developed. It consists of an introduction, a main part, and a conclusion. In the main part, arguments are arranged logically and supported with examples, evidence, or facts. In a linear argumentation, one position is developed consistently; in a dialectical one, pro and contra arguments are contrasted. A typical question can, for example, be: ‹Sollte die Schule später beginnen?›
An argumentation is divided into an introduction, a main part, and a conclusion. In the main part, arguments are developed in a comprehensible way and supported with suitable examples or evidence. At the end, one's own position is stated clearly and justified. For a thesis such as ‹Handys sollten im Unterricht verboten werden›, the arguments must be structured objectively and logically.
