Refutational Texts and the Change Process.
Hynd, Cynthia R.
International Journal of Educational Research, v35 n7-8 p699-714 2001

Discusses how the use of refutation to aid learning fits into one of these agendas, and the teaching of refutation as a persuasive rhetorical device fits another. (SLD)
