Abstract
This study explores the role of moral reasoning and ethical decision making within the context of science assessment, emphasizing how values and ethical frameworks shape both the evaluation of scientific practices and the interpretation of outcomes. Drawing on theories of moral development and applied ethics, the research investigates how students and professionals confront dilemmas involving integrity, responsibility, and societal impact in scientific work. Findings highlight that ethical decision making in science is not limited to compliance with rules but requires critical reflection on fairness, accountability, and the broader consequences of scientific actions. The assessment results suggest that fostering moral reasoning skills enhances learners’ ability to navigate complex ethical challenges, promoting responsible conduct in research and innovation. Ultimately, integrating ethical dimensions into science assessment strengthens both scientific literacy and civic responsibility, preparing individuals to make informed, principled decisions in a rapidly evolving scientific landscape.
