This study has started from the awareness that the current debate education is focused on getting the opinion across correctly and does not care about mutual understanding. Therefore, the debate education that reflects transactional perspective has been suggested. The purpose of this study is to suggest the specific debate method based on theories to instruct the debate effectively.
Therefore, the debate education method has been examined in the view of transaction on the assumption that debate is transactional discourse to persuade based on mutual respect and understanding. The content of each chapter is as follows.
In chapter Ⅱ, the theories on debate education has been examined. First of all, the transactional view has been examined through the research of two flows in discourse education. In addition, debate has been defined as a transactional discourse for persuasion; a supporter and an objector maintain their opinion with their own grounds of an argument and approve opponent's unreasonableness. Moreover, it has researched the characteristics of debate and it has been focused on mutual respect and understanding of debate, logicality and transaction. Also, the educational value of debate has been examined through 5 implications of debate have been researched the development of communication competence, the development of critical·synthetic thinking ability, the development of reasoning ability, the development of the harmony of conflict and the individual and group growth and the acquisition of resonable teaching and learning. Lastly, it suggests the mutual respect and care on the assumption that the consent concept and model is necessary and debate is the transactional approach about communication.
In chapter Ⅲ, 'logical meaning construction' and 'transactional meaning construction' in the aspect of content and the theory of 'active listening' and 'mutual respect and concern' in the view of attitude have been derived. Next, existent strong and weak points has been researched and they have been reflected on the targeted model. Through this, it has suggested that teaching·learning model that reflects transactional activities based on logicality, mutual respect and understanding. The teaching·learning model consists of 'searching claim - sharing argument each other - reconstructing claim - choosing claim and internalizing' and leaning activities have been constructed in each stage. Next, available teaching-learning plan for debate have been designed and applied. As a result, teaching-learning model for debate assuming the transactional view can lead learners to the active and logical discussion. Also, this model creates active meaning negotiation among learners and so that people can understand and respect others deeply apart form self-center thinking. Lastly, this model makes meaning shared beyond the differences in thinking and gets thought improve through the process of transaction.
The implications are as follows. First, the new direction for debate education apart from the existent one. Locality, debate education is necessary in the transactional view based on mutual respect and understanding compared to the existent one that are focused on logicality. This perspective plays a role as a specific material that complements debate method. Second, the essence of debate education in the theoric view and contents from critical examination would suggest the useful implications on the contents of debate education and specific strategies. The implications from the critical examination of debate education will help to design the contents of debate education. Also, the theory of debate is directly helpful for designing the teaching-learning model for debate and debate can be instructed using the specific debate strategy.
