Résumé
In this paper, we characterise generic arguments based on examples and counterexamples by primary students in terms of argumentative structures. To accomplish this, we (1) employed a theoretical framework based on Balacheff’s levels of validation of proof and (2) conducted a Toulmin analysis adapted from the argumentation analysis described by Reid and Knipping. In sum, the results showed similarities and differences between example-based and counterexample-based arguments in terms of the complexity of their argumentative structures. Based on this analysis, we discuss what distinguishes generic arguments from other types of arguments (e.g., empirical and general).
