| Sumario: | Within a synchronous computer-mediated discussion, teachers used a prescriptive framework of Socratic interventions together with dialogue moves which challenged students to justify their opinions or which presented a 'devil's advocate' line of counter-argument. This paper examines the effectiveness of different teacher strategies and presents examples of those strategies in use. The research found that, although teachers used relatively few 'counter-argument' moves, these moves could be particularly successful in encouraging students to develop and defend a line of argument. |
