This workshop guides participants through the essential mapping of epistemic goals and practices as integral to fostering meta-competence in science learning. Anchored in the Epistemologies-in-Practice framework, the session unpacks how science learning engages with the Nature of Science and authentic scientific practices, shaping learners' epistemic cognition—their understanding of scientific knowledge's nature, justification, and communication. Central to this process are four critical epistemic considerations: nature, generality, justification, and audience. These dimensions are analytical tools to examine and align learners' epistemic engagement with meaningful science instruction. Similarly, the workshop introduces a discourse strategy (i.e., syntax transformation) using the A-B-C-D protocol to deconstruct and reconstruct goal statements that reflect high-level cognitive engagement in standard science learning. Participants will engage in collaborative, action-oriented tasks to decode the structure of epistemic goals, map them to scientific practices, and transform them into actionable instructional strategies. The workshop supports educators and action researchers in promoting epistemic agency and enhancing metacognitive awareness as drivers of meta-competence in diverse science education contexts.
