In this study, we examined the relationship between the use of two teachers’ dialogue feedback as an educational practice to promote evidence-based argumentation in middle school science lessons and the students’ ability to create scientific arguments in a standardized critical thinking exam. The teachers had an equal amount of training on Argument-Based Inquiry (ABI) and taught in a federally-identified low-income school. When the patterns of talk were analyzed, divergent themes emerged and feedback that promoted critique correlated with student achievement on the critical thinking exam.
