A Comprehensive Survey of Argument Mining in the Educational Domain: Techniques, Applications, and Future Directions

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT The application of argument mining (AM) in the educational domain is a tool for identifying text structures that express an argument. AM can help evaluate the quality of students' assignments, generate insights into their perspectives, and understand their stance on certain topics. This article examines various aspects of AM in education, including techniques, models, approaches, data representation, language resources, and target artifacts. The findings suggest that AM can enhance learning and teaching processes. However, the study highlights gaps in the literature, particularly in exploring educational artifacts like debates and a lack of research on AM in languages other than English. This paper calls for further research to improve educational outcomes through AM in the educational domain.
