| dc.description.abstract | Interest in student debate or structured debate in upper secondary education is growing in Portugal and other countries. While there is broad agreement on the benefits of debate for adolescent students, a comprehensive, up-to-date literature review on this topic is missing. For this reason, this study aims to analyse the extent, nature and results of peer-reviewed, published research on the benefits of student debate in upper secondary education over the past 25 years (1999–2023). A scoping review was conducted using Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, the PRISMA guidelines, a previously designed protocol, and 11 research databases. Fifty-six studies were selected. The studies revealed an increasing trend in both their number and geographical breadth, and highlighted the diversity of student debate regarding settings, concepts, and formats. As for the benefits, these studies provided evidence of the power of student debate to promote adolescents’ competencies, particularly in communication, argumentation, and critical thinking. Benefits related to adolescent thriving included academic adjustment, positive youth development strengths, and civic and political engagement. The studies also presented evidence of societal benefits, including enhanced educational equality. Overall, the review strengthened the case of debate as a powerful and versatile educational resource for adolescent learning and positive development. | eng |
