Abstract

This paper describes the levels of argumentative competences identified in a sample of university students and their relation to epistemological beliefs. In order to identify the argumentative competences of the students, an instrument of open answers was created around the issue of unemployment. To measure the epistemological beliefs, an instrument consisting of 63 items was applied (Schommer, 1990). The analysis of the two instruments was carried out and reliability and validity were obtained.
