| Abstract: | This study investigates the relationship between the quality of student dialogue and students’ ability to justify their viewpoints
on a moral issue. A curriculum unit for dialogic citizenship education was developed and implemented in the 8th grade of secondary
education. In the final lesson, students discussed a moral issue and then wrote an essay on it. The results show that students
who made more value-related utterances during the discussion also referred more often and more explicitly in their individually
written essays to moral values. This study indicates that the quality of the content of students’ dialogue is important for
their ability to substantiate their opinion on moral issues with value-laden argumentation. Approaches to citizenship education
in which dialogue is a central element should, therefore, pay specific attention to the validation of ideas in student dialogue. |
