An Example on Toulmin's Model

TOULMIN'S MODEL OF ARGUMENTATION


Claim:

"Use of technology is must for future classroom"

Grounds:

Whether we like it or not, technology is everywhere. There are countless reason for technology to be key aspects of learning. For new teachers, technology is considered a necessity for the learning environment.

Warrant:

When technology is integrated into lessons, students are expected to be more interested in the subjects they are studying. Technology provides different opportunities to make learning more fun and enjoyable in terms of teaching same things in new ways. Technology benefits both students and teachers for proper collaboration, improves engagement and knowledge retention. It also encourages individual learning.


Backing:

No one can learn in the same way due to different learning styles and various abilities. Technologies provides great opportunities for learning effectively for everyone with different needs. Also, Students can learn useful life skills through technology. Technology can encourage collaboration with students in the same classroom, same school and even with other classrooms around the world. What is more, technology can encourage a more active participation in the learning process which can be hard to achieve through a traditional lecture environment.


Qualifier:

The traditional passive learning model is broken. With technology in the classroom the teacher becomes the encourager, adviser, and coach. Having countless online resources, technology can help improve teaching. Teachers can use different apps or trusted online resources to enhance the traditional ways of teaching and to keep students more engaged. Virtual lesson plans, grading software and online assessments can help teachers save a lot time. This valuable time can be used for working with students who are struggling. Technology helps students be more responsible. Owning your own device or borrowing the school's devices gives students the opportunity to improve their decision making skills as well as taking ownership of a valuable device. 


Rebuttal:

Technology might be expensive to integrate in classroom but those who can afford can see all the great benefits that come with it. It improves on student's skills and it also makes them enjoy learning.

The searchers for truth cannot remain confined to a single discipline. Grounds:- Ignaz Semmelweis , a Hungarian physician, searched for the cause of  childbed fevers which caused four times more death in his ward compared to others.  Dr. Semmelweis examined some hypotheses while trying to find the actual cause of the death.  He had formulated many hypotheses on the subject and tested each of them .Through his continuous effort testing out the assumptions, he found the answer in 4 years from 1844 to 1848. Warrant:- Hypotheses gives new ways and directions to a researcher. Testing hypotheses drops out irrelevant facts from study. Semmelweis’ testing of  hypotheses lead him to the truth. In 1847, accidentally, Dr. Semmelweis’ colleague Kolletschka received a small wound in the finger from the...
