This House Would Ethically Engage

This study explores the relationship between ethics, pedagogy, and rhetoric through the relationship between NPDA partnerships and how forensic coaches impact these relationships. The main premise is that directors of forensics and NPDA debaters are arguably in a state of crisis. This book aims to heighten the level of intellectual discussion in this subfield as well as add to both the quantity and quality of research. I begin with an introduction and review of the relevant literature. Next, there is a quantitative study to assess how argumentativeness and verbal aggressiveness influence competitive relational satisfaction within NPDA partnerships, from debaters. After the quantitative portion, I report a qualitative study with the coaches, and finally, I explore the rhetorical and pedagogical impacts of the findings. I conclude that especially in forensics, there is no one model pedagogy or ethic, just as there is no one way to garnering competitive success and further theoretically and historically grounded study must be conducted in this area in order to bolster the credibility of forensic literature as well as to provide further understanding in this area.
