A number of researchers studied situations involving peer interaction (Amigues, 1990) and collaboration between students (Roschelle, 1992) for their potential in promoting conceptual understanding. These studies stress the role of discourse and dialogue in learning domain concepts. More specifically, epistemic activities, such as argumentation and explanation, have been designated as potentially powerful mechanisms by which students can collaboratively construct new meanings (Ohlsson, 1995; Roschelle, 1992). According to Ohlsson, this is conceivable because reflection is the process, and discourse is the medium through which one may acquire conceptual understanding. Epistemic activities are important for the study of conceptual understanding because, in comparison with problem-solving activities, they embody a much smaller gap between performance and competence. In other words, the occurrence of explanatory and argumentative discourse (performance) about concepts effectively reveals degree of understanding (competence) of those concepts. Epistemic activities are therefore discursive activities (e.g., text writing, verbal interaction, or presentation) that operate primarily on knowledge and understanding, rather than on procedures.

Our problem is thus to design situations that encourage students to engage in a specific type of epistemic activity, that we designate as epistemic dialogue.
