Up until now, very few models conceptualizing students’ competence in evaluation, argumentation
and discourse in the context of science education have been proposed. Most suggestions
for analyzing this particular competence in students are normative and the empirical
support for them remains weak. The problem becomes even more severe when such
evaluations include ethical and societal perspectives as part of the analytical parameters. In
support of this topic, this paper presents two approaches for handling students’ evaluation
capabilities in the context of multidimensional discussion situations. One approach focuses
on the quality of learners’ arguments concerning levels of justification; the second reflects
upon the quality of pupils’ complexity of argumentation. Both approaches were created using
group discussion data collected for evaluation purposes. The data stems from a curriculum
innovation project focusing on the teaching of climate change in four teaching domains:
Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Politics. Participants from 20 different learning
groups conducted semi-structured, pre- and post-group discussions on the issue of climate
change. Analysis of a total of 76 group discussions showed positive potential in both evaluation
grids on the topic.
