O knihe

A volume in Current Perspectives on Cognition, Learning, and Instruction
Series Editors Gregory Schraw, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
and Daniel H. Robinson, The University of Texas at Austin
This volume examines the assessment of higher order thinking skills from the perspectives of applied
cognitive psychology and measurement theory. The volume considers a variety of higher order thinking
skills, including problem solving, critical thinking, argumentation, decision making, creativity,
metacognition, and self-regulation
Fourteen chapters by experts in learning and measurement comprise four sections which address conceptual
approaches to understanding higher order thinking skills, cognitively oriented assessment models, thinking in
the content domains, and practical assessment issues. The volume discusses models of thinking skills, as
well as applied issues related to the construction, validation, administration and scoring of perfomancebased,
selected-response, and constructed-response assessments.
The goal of the volume is to promote a better theoretical understanding of higher order thinking in order to facilitate instruction and assessment of
those skills among students in all K-12 content domains, as well as professional licensure and cetification settings.
