Abstract
Argumentation has been widely recognized as an effective approach for science education. Much effective argumentation happens between multiple participants who engage in evaluation, reflection, reasoning, and decision making through arguments and counterarguments in relation to a specific scientific topic. However collaborative argumentation rarely takes place in school science classrooms though researchers have developed some computer-based systems to support the argumentation. One of the critical issues is that teachers and students lack support in scripting, evaluating and reflecting the scientific argumentation. This project developed AppleTree system to script the collaborative argumentation and provide automated assessment through multi-dimensional learning analytics and visualization. By tracking and analysing the data of students’ behaviours in the learning activities, learning analytics and automated assessment not only improve the design and delivery of instruction of the teachers, but also help students understand their learning in a more meaningful way so that they can act upon on the fly.
