With the aim to analyze the context of a Vacation Course (VC), within its problem-based learning (PBL) methodology, we identified characteristics and applied argumentative techniques that positively influence its construction process. Based on the Argumentation Treaty (AT) of Perelman (1987) and studies on VC with a PBL perspective. Data were analyzed from the transcription of six video-recorded social interactive activities of the VC, conducted by licensed instructors. The results have shown that the argumentative techniques as described by the AT could be identified in the VC, especially when it presents compatible features with the notions of audience, orator and the scope of discussion proposed by Perelman. In addition, the frequent use of the argumentative techniques of causal relationships is related to the need that the licensed instructors have of explaining and justifying the experiments and the conclusions achieved during the VC activities.

Keywords : Argumentation; Problem-based learning; Perelman.
