Abstract

In this chapter we investigate conditions that enable student immersive engagement in learning the languages of science through an argument-based inquiry approach. We focus on a range of critical issues including the type of argument to be promoted in student interactions, the knowledge bases students should use to participate in this inquiry, and the cognitive resources that are developed from these learning experiences. We claim that this orientation of living the languages of science is crucial if we want students to merge different epistemological tools and disciplinary perspectives to maximize learning.
