ROLE OF ARGUMENTATION IN SCIENTIFIC_ ECOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF BACHELORS
The article reveals the essence and role of argumentation in the research activities of bachelors in ecology. Environmental studies carried out “from a phenomenon to an entity” or “from a problem to a result” are connected with the need for objective and comprehensive proof of the results. This determines the important role of argumentation as a justification of a formulated scientific judgment with the help of arguments, where along with logical methods, emotional-psychological methods of persuasive influence are also used. Arguments are evidence for a thesis in a research paper and constitute a body of interconnected environmental claims. The argumentation is associated with the communicative activity of bachelors, which ensures the expansion of scientific interaction, including network, based on information and communication technologies. Based on the approaches available in the general theory of argumentation, a model of argumentation has been developed in the environmental research activities of bachelors at the university. Its general principles are substantiated and the main structural components are characterized: thesis, argument, demonstration. The typological variety of arguments used in environmental studies is shown: theoretical and empirical, rational and emotional, which are interconnected with each other. Attention is drawn to the role of argumentation in the development by future graduates of professional competencies in cognitive, research, communicative types of environmental activities.
