The Relationship Between Teacher Education THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEACHER EDUCATION COURSES AND THE TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION ATTITUDES, BELIEFS, AND KNOWLEDGE OF PRESERVICE TEACHERS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS SERIES By MATTHEW L. WILSON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2018 © 2018 Matthew L. Wilson To my loving wife, Jungsun. This process would not have happened without you. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many people to thank, but first I want to thank God. Through faith all things are possible. Without the strength and guidance of God’s grace, I don’t believe I could have endured to the end. It’s been a long journey from repatriating and moving across the country, to starting school and teaching at the University of Florida, to bring my wife to the U.S.A., and it goes on and on. The unending love of God helped me get through it all, and now I am here. I acknowledge the immense contribution of Albert Ritzhaupt. Without his post to ISTE for doctoral studies at UF, I would never have thought to come start this amazing process. Through his guidance and support, I have conducted award winning research, achieved more than I would have expected academically, and grown as a person and academic. His guidance will always be appreciated. I acknowledge the support of my committee. Kara Dawson has been a wonderful supporter of me both academically and professionally. I appreciate all the work we have done together, and I look forward to the future. Nicholas Gage has helped shepherd me through this process of systematic review and meta-analysis. Without the frequent visits to his office, I am sure this work would never have gotten done. Finally, Anne Corinne Huggins-Manley has been a superb mentor and colleague in research methodology. Once again, I look forward to future collaborations with her. I would be remiss if I did not mention the contributions Li Cheng made to this research. I thank her for stepping in to help with the coding process. Her help improved the quality of this research, and could not have been completed without her. I would like to acknowledge my peers. There were times when this whole process was incredibly daunting. Knowing that others were going through the same process and having the same struggles somehow made it all seem possible. 4 I would like to thank my family. My father, Jon, who pride in my accomplishments was unmeasured. I miss you, Pop. I hope you are looking on this, and beaming. To my mother, Rosemary, who always supports my choices. I know you too are proud of this, too. Finally, to my sister, Molly, who is a doctor in her own rights. You made it through, and so did I. Finally, a special thanks to my wife, Jungsun. Moving from Korea to Gainesville was not easy for us. It was quite the departure from where we were. Yet, I am now finished up, and we can move forward to a new and interesting next step. I love you very much, and I am glad you were here with me. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  • Socratrees: Exploring the Design of Argument Technology for Layman Users
    Argument & Computation 0 (0) 1 1 IOS Press Socratrees: Exploring the Design of Argument Technology for Layman Users Steven Jeuris Department of Health Technology, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Terms like ‘misinformation’, ‘fake news’, and ‘echo chambers’ permeate current discussions on the state of the Internet. We believe a lack of technological support to evaluate, contest, and reason about information online—as opposed to merely disseminating it—lies at the root of these problems. Several argument technologies support such functionality, but have seen limited use outside of niche communities. Most research systems overemphasize argument analysis and structure, standing in stark contrast with the informal dialectical nature of everyday argumentation. Conversely, non-academic systems overlook important implications for design which can be derived from theory. In this paper, we present the design of a system aiming to strike a balance between structured argumentation and ease of use. Socratrees is a website for collaborative argumentative discussion targeting layman users, but includes sophisticated community guidelines and novel features inspired by informal logic. During an exploratory study, we evaluate the usefulness of our imposed structure on argumentation and investigate how users perceive it. Contributing to arguments remains a complex task, but most users learned to do so effectively with minimal guidance and all recognized that the structure of Socratrees may improve online discussion and results in a clearer overview of arguments. Keywords: Argumentation, computer-supported argumentation, argument technologies, computational argumentation 1. Introduction There currently is an unprecedented amount of information available online. This can be used by decision-makers, the civically-engaged, journalists, and researchers alike, to inform themselves.

  • Using Argumentation Schemes to Find Motives and Intentions of a Rational
    Argument & Computation 10 (2019) 233–275 233 DOI 10.3233/AAC-190480 IOS Press Using argumentation schemes to find motives and intentions of a rational agent Douglas Walton † Centre for Research on Reasoning, Argumentation and Rhetoric, University of Windsor, Windsor, Canada Abstract. Because motives and intentions are internal, and not directly observable by another agent, it has always been a problem to find a pathway of reasoning linking them to externally observable evidence. This paper proposes an argumentation- based method that one can use to support or attack hypotheses about the motives or intentions of an intelligent autonomous agent based on verifiable evidence. The method is based on a dialectical argumentation approach along with a commitment-based theory of mind. It is implemented using the Carneades Argumentation System, which already has 106 programmed schemes available to it and has an argument search tool. The method uses schemes, notably ones for abductive reasoning, argument from action to intention, argument from action to motive, and some new ones. Keywords: Multiagent systems, evidential reasoning in law, finding intentions, artificial intelligence 1. Introduction Research on intention recognition carried out in computer science for over thirty years has addressed the problem of identifying the intentions of an intelligent autonomous agent based on evidence from the agent’s environment, including its known actions. As shown in Section 2, some researchers in this area have devised computational systems that use abductive reasoning to support evidence-based conjectures about an automated agent’s intentions. A comparable problem in the study of intelligent autonomous agents arises for goals and motives.

  • Argument Mining: a Survey
    Argument Mining: A Survey John Lawrence University of Dundee, UK Centre for Argument Technology [email protected] Chris Reed University of Dundee, UK Centre for Argument Technology Argument mining is the automatic identification and extraction of the structure of inference and reasoning expressed as arguments presented in natural language. Understanding argumentative structure makes it possible to determine not only what positions people are adopting, but also why they hold the opinions they do, providing valuable insights in domains as diverse as financial market prediction and public relations. This survey explores the techniques that establish the foundations for argument mining, provides a review of recent advances in argument mining techniques, and discusses the challenges faced in automatically extracting a deeper understand- ing of reasoning expressed in language in general. 1. Introduction With online fora increasingly serving as the primary media for argument and debate, the automatic processing of such data is rapidly growing in importance. Unfortunately, though data science techniques have been extraordinarily successful in many natural language processing tasks, existing approaches have struggled to identify more com- plex structural relationships between concepts. For example, although opinion mining and sentiment analysis provide techniques that are proving to be enormously successful in marketing and public relations, and in financial market prediction, with the market for these technologies currently estimated to be worth around $10 billion, they can only tell us what opinions are being expressed and not why people hold the opinions they do. Justifying opinions by presenting reasons for claims is the domain of argumentation theory, which studies arguments in both text and spoken language; in specific domains and in general; with both normative and empirical methodologies; and from philosoph- ical, linguistic, cognitive and computational perspectives.

  • Argument Revision
    Argumentation corner Argument Revision MARK SNAITH and CHRIS REED, Centre for Argument Technology, University of Dundee, Dundee DD1 4HN, Scotland. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Understanding the dynamics of argumentation systems is a crucial component in the development of computational models of argument that are used as representations of belief. To that end, in this article, we introduce a model of Argument Revision, presented in terms of the contraction and revision of a system of structured argumentation. Argument Revision is influenced by theAGM model of belief revision, but with certain key differences. First,Argument Revision involves modifying the underlying model (system of argumentation) from which beliefs are derived, allowing for a finer-grained approach to modifying beliefs. Secondly, the richer structure provided by a system of argumentation permits a determination of minimal change based on quantifiable effects on the system as opposed to qualitative criteria such as entrenchment orderings. Argument Revision does, however, retain a close link to the AGM approach to belief revision. A basic set of postulates for rational revisions and contractions in Argument Revision is proposed; these postulates are influenced by, and capture the spirit of, those found in AGM belief revision. After specifying a determination of minimal change, based on measurable effects on the system, we conclude the article by going on to show how Argument Revision can be used as a strategic tool by a participant in a multi-agent dialogue, assisting with commitment retraction and dishonesty. In systems of argumentation that contain even small knowledge bases, it is difficult for a dialogue participant to fully assess the impact of seemingly trivial changes to that knowledge base, or other parts of the system; we demonstrate, by means of an example, that Argument Revision solves this problem through a determination of minimal change that is justifiable and intuitive.

  • A Corpus of Argument Networks: Using Graph Properties to Analyse Divisive Issues
    A Corpus of Argument Networks: Using Graph Properties to Analyse Divisive Issues Barbara Konat1, John Lawrence1, Joonsuk Park2, Katarzyna Budzynska3;1, Chris Reed1 1Centre for Argument Technology, University of Dundee, Scotland 2Department of Computer Science, Cornell University, New York, USA 3Institute of Philosophy and Sociology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland Abstract Governments are increasingly utilising online platforms in order to engage with, and ascertain the opinions of, their citizens. Whilst policy makers could potentially benefit from such enormous feedback from society, they first face the challenge of making sense out of the large volumes of data produced. This creates a demand for tools and technologies which will enable governments to quickly and thoroughly digest the points being made and to respond accordingly. By determining the argumentative and dialogical structures contained within a debate, we are able to determine the issues which are divisive and those which attract agreement. This paper proposes a method of graph-based analytics which uses properties of graphs representing networks of arguments pro- & con- in order to automatically analyse issues which divide citizens about new regulations. By future application of the most recent advances in argument mining, the results reported here will have a chance to scale up to enable sense-making of the vast amount of feedback received from citizens on directions that policy should take.

In this article, we show how the analysis of argumentative and dialogical structures allows for the principled identification of those issues that are central, controversial, or popular in an online corpus of debates. Although areas such as controversy mining work towards identifying issues that are a source of disagreement, by looking at the deeper argumentative structure, we show that a much richer understanding can be obtained. We provide results from using a pipeline of argument-mining techniques on the debate corpus, showing that the accuracy obtained is sufficient to automatically identify those issues that are key to the discussion, attracting proportionately more support than others, and those that are divisive, attracting proportionatelyr more conflicting viewpoints.

In the era of the Internet of Things and Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques allow us to automatically extract knowledge from data. This workshop focuses on the automatic generation of interactive explanations in natural language (NL), as humans naturally do, and as a complement to visualization tools. NL technologies, both NL Generation (NLG) and NL Processing (NLP) techniques, are expected to enhance knowledge extraction and representation through human-machine interaction (HMI). As remarked in the last challenge stated by the USA Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), "even though current AI systems offer many benefits in many applications, their effectiveness is limited by a lack of explanation ability when interacting with humans". Accordingly, users without a strong background on AI, require a new generation of Explainable AI systems. They are expected to naturally interact with humans, thus providing comprehensible explanations of decisions automatically made.
