“…Duncan et al (2018) described epistemic understanding in four aspects: (a) evidence analysis, which includes the understanding of how data and conclusions fit together; (b) evidence evaluation, which includes the understanding of how to critically examine the quality of evidence; (c) evidence interpretation, which includes the understanding of how to derive theoretical claims, explanations, or models from evidence; and (d) evidence integration, which includes the understanding of how to coordinate diverse evidence with alternative claims. Lee et al (2023) described epistemic understanding as students' abilities to “evaluate the applicability, limitation, uncertainty, and generalizability of evidence based claims from scientific experiments” (p. 11). From an assessment perspective, Osborne (2016) described epistemic understanding as knowledge in several features, such as knowledge of reasoning (e.g., deductive, inductive, abductive, analogic), knowledge of how a scientific claim is supported by data and reasoning, knowledge of the function of a hypothesis in establishing a testable question and prediction, and knowledge of how to represent and communicate models or arguments to peers.…”
