Assessment Techniques and Students’ Higher-Order Thinking Skills
Improving students’ higher-order thinking skills is a collective experience; one teacher of a specific subject cannot alone improve the higher-order thinking skills, and it is a collaborative process between all subjects’ teachers and can be taught for all levels of studying (Lawson, 1993; Shellens, & Valcke, 2005). Moreover, Benjamin (2008) argues that these skills can be developed in a cumula...
متن کاملRedesigning a course to help students achieve higher-order cognitive thinking skills: from goals and mechanics to student outcomes.
Here we describe a 4-yr course reform and its outcomes. The upper-division neurophysiology course gradually transformed from a traditional lecture in 2004 to a more student-centered course in 2008, through the addition of evidence-based active learning practices, such as deliberate problem-solving practice on homework and peer learning structures, both inside and outside of class. Due to the in...
متن کاملComparison of naive and experienced students of elementary physiology on performance in an advanced course.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether, in comparison with naive students, experienced students who have completed an elementary physiology course 1) have a greater knowledge level of physiology and 2) perform better in an upper division physiology course. The educational setting for this study was the cardiovascular block of an advanced undergraduate level course entitled Principle...
متن کاملAssessing Higher-order Scientific Process Skills in a Research-oriented Laboratory Course
We developed a laboratory course in which students explore microbial diversity within environmental samples. We hypothesized that the curriculum would develop skills critical to a student’s competence as a research scientist. We compared the effectiveness of a guided-inquiry format (lab A) to that of a traditional ‘cookbook’ class (lab B). Students in lab B, the control group, perform technique...
متن کاملInterteaching within a human physiology course: a comparison of first- and second-year students' learning skills and perceptions.
This article describes student perceptions and outcomes in relation to the use of a novel interteaching approach. The study sample (n = 260) was taken from a large human physiology class, which included both first- and second-year students. However, unlike the first-year students, the second-year students had significant prior knowledge, having completed a previous physiology course. Active lea...
