TORRES, Inés Cristina. Una mirada pedagógica a la escritura de un ensayo argumentativo. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2004, n.19, pp.97-105. ISSN 0123-885X.

The argumentative essay is a type of text introduced in the last years of high school education. In the university context, its importance is enormous. This study, which seeks to identify theoretical elements and experiences positively influencing the writing of argumentative essays, is driven by the reiterated complaints of instructors who deal with this type of production on the part of their students, together with one particular teaching experience focussing on the argumentative essay in a private school of high academic standards in Bogotá. Confidence in the fact that it is possible to learn to write is reinforced by proposals emerging both from cognitivist conceptions validating a learning process through varied mechanisms such as strategies or instructions, and from socio-cultural conceptions promoting the immersion in situations demanding analysis, discussion, and the confrontation of different points of view.
