Book Description
An adjunct to the increased emphasis on developing students’ critical thinking and higher order skills is the need for methods to monitor and evaluate these abilities. These papers provide insight into current techniques and examine possibilities for the future. The contributors to Diagnostic Monitoring of Skill and Knowledge Acquisition focus on two beliefs: that new kinds of tests and assessment methods are needed; and that instruction and learning can be improved by developing new assessment methods based on work in cognitive science.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“The challenge to construct assessments based on learning theory that inform instructional decisions is clearly being addressed by the research reported in this volume….This volume gives some evidence that new assessment relying on improved understanding of skill and knowledge acquisition can improve instruction and learning.”
