Promoting debating skills
Promoting debating skills
Debating may be easy to learn. Yet, it is challenging to master (Shuster & Meany, 2015, IX).
Training can support the confidence of educators to use debate in classrooms or schools, to identify and adapt resources, and unlock debating benefits for upper secondary students, democracy, and citizenship.
