Biology laboratory courses can engage students in deep scientific thinking, enhancing their reasoning and understanding of biological concepts through laboratory experiments (Sundberg & Moncada, 1994; Gasper & Gardner, 2013). This can be particularly evident in laboratory reports, with student writing having been shown to significantly improve critical thinking skills in Biology (Quitadamo & Kurtz, ... read more2007) and being a place to practice scientific argumentation (Kuhn, 2010). However, there have been obstacles in assessing student engagement in reasoning and argumentation, as well as the question of multidisciplinary applicability. This thesis aimed to developed an analytic framework for assessing students' performed reasoning and argumentation in laboratory reports which would account for linguistic variation, the framing of the laboratory reports, and which would also be able to be applied to other disciplines.read less
