Abstract

This work objectived to analyze the demonstration of argumentation in the oral and written students’ productions, through methodological action, through interpretation of the impact of the collection of the organized and applied activities by teacher in the classroom (DOLZ, NOVERRAZ & SCHNEUWLY, 2004). So, in a specific way, we intended to investigate the use of the argumentative operators in the productions of the arguments in opinion articles written by students in 9th year and to analyze the impact of the teacher’s methodological action in the exercise of the argumentative competence in students’ oral and written productions. The raised questions were: How demonstrate students´ argumentative competence in their written productions? And what methodologies strategy developed in the educational sequence contributed for the development of argumentative competence demonstrated? The results of the research show that the students have conscience of the necessity to present arguments for defense of a point of view in oral and written modalities. However, such conscience, for itself, doesn’t answer for productions said as “well done” that school demands from these students. The systematized teaching, organized around an educational sequence about the study of the argumentation, returned for the students specific necessities, was able to evidence significant improvements in students´ argumentative productions. So, we noticed that development students´ argumentative competence demonstrated in the classroom, during the interaction, as well as in written productions, received direct influence from teacher’s methodological actions since the treatment given to such object of study, promoted theoretical contributions about the contemplated object, since matured around student’s learning.
