I would argue Way more important. The text structure provides important cues to signify meaning to the audience but I would rather read a poorly argued substansive study than an empty but well structured study.

Never thought about argumentative grammars as a method to evaluate research.

Claiming all research is an argument, basing lens on Toulmin, I wonder if this act reinforces the dominant narrative in educational research. What if research was meant to not persuade but inform or enlighten?

In other words, let your RQ's drive your methods.

Do claims also silence or implicitly ignore other narratives and storied truths?

Even the need to put edpscyh and learning sciences in the same sentences separated by "or" shows the power of grammar. Why was the legacy field of psych put forth? Are these two equal field?

And VERY specific modes if there are funding desires behind the research
I think they usually bring up blogs and give them “makeover” suggestions? While today it seemed more of a convo about the ideas of connecting thru blogging?
I love the play on gender roles here, either intentional or not. The sister bloggers came in and broke up the blog brothers "make over" show.
