39 studies (41% Higher Ed), meta-analysis Constructive Academic Controversy (CAC): The Art of Arguing to Enhance Learning FIE 2009: Special Session Holly Matusovich, Virginia Tech <matushm@vt.edu> Karl Smith, Purdue University/U of MN <ksmith@umn.edu> Why CAC? ABET criteria include requirements for graduates: who can function on multidisciplinary teams, who can communicate effectively, and who are educated sufficiently broadly to understand how engineering solutions have impact in global, economic, environmental and societal context. CAC can help students develop the skills to: contribute to engineering team discussions/negotiations develop and articulate positions on issues recognize and consider perspectives of multiple stakeholders respectfully and successfully navigate group conflict Theory Processes through which intellectual conflict leads to positive outcomes has been theorized by developmental, cognitive, social, personality, communication, and organizational researchers (Johnson & Johnson, 2009) Evidence 39 studies (41% Higher Ed), meta-analysis Achievement, Retention, and Quality of Decision Making and Problem Solving – Effect Size, ES = 0.70 (concurrence seeking), 0.62 (debate), 0.76 (individualistic) Cognitive and Moral Reasoning – ES = 0.84 (concurrence seeking, 1.38 (debate), 1.10 (individualistic) Similar ES’s for Perspective Taking, Open-Mindedness, Creativity, Task Involvement, Motivation to Improve Understanding, Attitude Change on the Issue, Attitudes toward Controversy and Toward the Task (Johnson & Johnson, 2009)

Constructive Academic Controversy Procedure Step Typical Phrase Prepare (pairs, 10 min) Our Best Case Is... Present (pairs,10 min tot) The Answer Is...Because... Open Discussion (group, 10 min) Your Position is Inadequate Because... My Position is Better Because... Perspective Reversal (10 min) Your Position Is...Because... Consensus Seeking Our Best Reasoned (group, 15 min) Judgment Is… Report out to larger group (10 min) Where Can I Find More Information?
