MIGDALEK, Maia Julieta; ROSEMBERG, Celia Renata  and  ARRUE, Josefina Elena. Argumentación infantil en situaciones de juego: diferencias en función del contexto. Propuesta educativa (Online) [online]. 2015, n.44, pp.79-88. ISSN 1995-7785.

Within the sociocultural theory of human development (Luria, 1995; Vygotski, 1964, 2009) and his psycholinguistic approach (Nelson, 1996), this work aims to analyze child’s development of argumentative discourse. The influence of context in argumentative discourse development was mentioned by several authors (Faigenbaum, 2012; Kline, 1998; Kuhn, 1992; Silvestri, 2001). This work aims to analyze differences in use of argumentative strategies in dispute situations during playing situations in kindergarten and home settings in young children. To achieve this goal we inductively developed a system of categories (Migdalek, Santibáñez Yáñez & Rosemberg, 2014) using Constant Comparative Method (Glaser & Strauss, 1967).This system conceptualized argumentative strategies. Variance analysis showed significant differences between the two contexts in the use of these argumentative strategies in dispute situations during playing moment. In kindergarten environment young children used more argumentative strategies than in home settings. The analysis as well showed that during game situations in kindergarten children used more discourse strategies and also other linguistic resources.

Keywords : Children; Argumentation; Dispute; Different settings.
