Scientific Reasoning and Argumentation: Exploring Domain-General and Domain-Specific Knowledge This book examines the functions and limitations of domain-general conceptions of reasoning and argumentation, highlighting the substantial differences between various disciplines. It presents new perspectives on the role of domain-specific knowledge in developing more general reasoning abilities. Featuring contributions from leading experts in the learning sciences, educational psychology, science education, history education, and cognitive science, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationships between domain-general and domain-specific knowledge. By exploring these connections, readers can gain insights into the development of scientific reasoning and argumentation skills. Through its analysis, Scientific Reasoning and Argumentation sheds light on the ongoing debate about the contribution of domain-specific knowledge to general reasoning abilities, providing valuable information for educators, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the nature of scientific inquiry.
