ERIC ED272583: Assessing Higher Order Thinking Skills

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Four presentations from the 1985 Annual Michigan School Testing Conference on “Assessing Higher Order Skills” are offered in this paper, and the chairman of the First General Session provides an introductory section. The papers individually and collectively address the problem of defining higher order thinking skills. A second major question facing those interested in teaching and testing thinking skills involves whether such skills should be taught and tested as a separate subject area or embedded and infused in existing subject matter. The paper by Michael H. Kean offers a concise treatment of the major questions facing those who would embark on the teaching and testing of higher order thinking skills. Edward D. Roeber and Betty L. Stevens describe the activities in Michigan during the planning and development stage for testing higher order skills, and outline the alternative approaches being considered by state level decision makers. Joan Boykoff Baron’s paper provides an analysis of Connecticut’s experiences in implementing a higher order thinking skills component in an ongoing assessment program.

John Fremer and Mark Daniel provide a recapitulation of problems and prospects through a discussion of several recent developments in the assessment of higher order thinking skills. (LMO
