Este artigo apresenta uma revisão crítica dos principais desafios metodológicos envolvidos na pesquisa da argumentação em ensino de ciências. Distinguimos três tipos de desafios que estão conectados: teóricos - como se caracteriza, como se enquadra; metodológicos - como se estuda, como se analisa, o que analisar, objeto deste trabalho; didáticos - como planejar situações de aula para promover a sua prática, como articulá-la com a aprendizagem das ciências. Identificam-se cinco tipos de desafios metodológicos: 1) o que conta como argumento; 2) o objeto de estudo e a unidade de análise; 3) a adequação das distintas ferramentas metodológicas; 4) como definir, como identificar e utilizar distintos elementos das ferramentas na pesquisa; e 5) como analisar as dimensões mais sofisticadas da argumentação.
A critical review of methodological challenges posed by research about argumentation in science education is presented. We distinguish three types of challenges, which are interconnected: theoretical, how it is characterized, how it is framed; methodological, how it is studied and analyzed, what is analyzed, object of this paper; didactic, how to design classroom environments to promote its practice, how to articulate it with science learning. Five types of methodological challenges are identified: 1) what counts as argument; 2) the object of study and the unit of analysis; 3) the adequacy of different methodological tools; 4) how to define, identify and use different tools' elements in research; and 5) how to analyze sophisticated dimensions of argumentation.
