Questions for Assessing Higher-Order Cognitive Skills: It's Not Just Bloom’s
We present an exploratory study of biologists' ideas about higher-order cognition questions. We documented the conversations of biologists who were writing and reviewing a set of higher-order cognition questions. Using a qualitative approach, we identified the themes of these conversations. Biologists in our study used Bloom's Taxonomy to logically analyze questions. However, biologists were al...
متن کاملAssessment of higher order cognitive skills in undergraduate education: modified essay or multiple choice questions? Research paper
BACKGROUND Reliable and valid written tests of higher cognitive function are difficult to produce, particularly for the assessment of clinical problem solving. Modified Essay Questions (MEQs) are often used to assess these higher order abilities in preference to other forms of assessment, including multiple-choice questions (MCQs). MEQs often form a vital component of end-of-course assessments ...
متن کاملA multi-user virtual environment for building and assessing higher order inquiry skills in science
This study investigated novel pedagogies for helping teachers infuse inquiry into a standards-based science curriculum. Using amulti-user virtual environment (MUVE) as a pedagogical vehicle, teams of middle-school students collaboratively solved problems around disease in a virtual town called River City. The students interacted with ‘avatars’ of other students, digital artefacts and computer-b...
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 کاملWeb-Based Intervention for Higher-Order Reading Skills
A promising metacognitive reading strategy intervention is being evaluated in several high schools as a means of improving students’ comprehension of science texts. Students are trained to use a variety of strategies in explaining texts to themselves when they do not understand a sentence or paragraph. To make the training more widely available, a web-based trainer has been developed. Transform...
