Résumé

The aim of the present work is to increase students'argumentation skills on socioscientific issues. To improve the pertinence of students' arguments on socioscientific issues, we tried to train students to make an interdiscursive analysis of the train of thought of different persons with differing views. It is a quasi experimental case study. The students in the experimentalgroup, which underwent the training between pre-testing and post-testing, were found to have developed more sophisticated arguments, while the quality of the arguments in the reference group did not vary between pre-testing andpost-testing. On the other hand the training did not appear to affect the quality of oral argumentation in a following debate which seems to be influenced more by personal and social factors.
