Abstract

We present CRS, a framework representing group reasoning as contributions, relations, and derived structure. Evaluating five LLMs on student discussions, we find that reasoning is classifiable but not reliably segmentable, with identification being the bottleneck. Prompting improves labeling far more than identification; participation is recoverable, yet fine-grained structure is hard.
