RESUMO

This study aimed to identify research trends in argumentation in Science teaching (AST) in the period of 1988 to 2008 (21 years). Argumentation is a discursive practice central to Science and therefore we defend it to be central to Science teaching (ST) as well. Even though research in ST is gaining importance, only a few studies have assessed the history and trends of scientific production in the area. Our study is a documental descriptive research, in which 51 scientific papers, published in specialized journals, were analyzed. These papers were classified according to (a) type (empirical research article, review or position paper), (b) subject focused in analysis (student or teacher), (c) its profiles and supraprofiles (categories created from data gathered from research focus, question and objective) and, (d) type of use of Toulmin\ s (1958) work in the theoretical framework. Results showed that, in AST research: (a) despite predominance of empirical studies, review studies had a major role in the development of the area; (b) most studies emphasize the student as the subject focused on analysis and have recently increased the number of articles focusing on teachers, (c) most of the reports refer to studies focusing on argument structure of and/or construction of the argumentation; however, studies focusing on teaching and learning have been increasing gradually in recent years, and; (d) Toulmin\ s Argument Pattern (1958) was and shows signs that will continue to be widely used in argument analysis, stressing, however, that its limitations as a methodological tool have motivated researchers of the area to create new analytical tools, more consistent with the current research focus.
