Abstract: While many universities place critical thinking as a central goal of higher education, much debate exists about what it is and how to teach it. Here I will present our research to define and develop students' critical thinking skills in the context of instructional science lab courses. I will also describe our two new standardized critical thinking assessments that are contextualized in physics and biology experiments.
