Event Description
- Full Description:
- In this interactive workshop participants will design assessment items for higher order thinking. Higher-order thinking (or higher order thinking skills (HOTS)), is an educational concept that draws on learning taxonomies (such as Bloom's taxonomy).
When we encourage students to engage in higher-order thinking we are asking them to analyse, evaluate, and synthesise ideas and information, rather than simply asking them to remember.
In this workshop we will consider how we can design assessment items to encourage our students to engage in critical thinking and problem solving behaviours, both of which are important for their success in the workplace and in the world.
