Abstract
This study designed a contrivance for argumentation, in the aim of curriculum development for multiple communication competence. The curriculum was implemented to university students in distant e-learning environment three times between 2003 and 2005. According to the analyses of implementation records, the curriculum was effective to a half of the class who were independent participants, not only in the area of knowledge but also in the area of reconstruction of value system by recognizing relative relationships between self and others. Further, three fourths of the class experienced these outcomes as the result of creation of learning community mediated by the teacher-feeling of unity in an intensive argumentation.
