CURCIO, Juan Manuel; PERALTA, Nadia S y CASTELLARO, Mariano. Group size, argumentation and table reading in university students. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.15, n.2, pp.211-220. Epub 01-Jul-2019. ISSN 1794-9998. https://doi.org/10.15332/22563067.4350.
Argumentation is an important variable to understand the learning process. Despite there are several papers about it, its relation with the group size is a novelty. The relationship between the group size (dyad-triad) and the argument distribution (symmetric-asymmetric) in a double-entry table reading task, in addition to its relationship with the type of answer used, are analyzed. A quasi-experimental design was used with only a post-test, in a sample of 89 university students. The results show that the dyads obtained the highest values of symmetry, whereas the triads obtained higher values of asymmetry. No significant relationships were found between the group size and the final answers types, neither between the group size and the answer type. This would indicate that the size of the group affects the possibility of people to provide arguments during the interaction, as well as the type of task that would condition the type of arguments used.
