Abstract
Several international calls have been made to increase the levels of critical thinking in college classrooms. Students need repetition and practice to master critical thinking skills. However, instructors don't have a ready source of assessment items or the resources to craft high-quality items. Peggy Brickman has written an Integrating Testing and Learning workbook that reviews common mistakes that faculty make when writing items and reviews psychometric guidelines for writing effective multiple-choice questions.
In this 2-day workshop series, Dr. Brickman will provide three opportunities to learn more about best practices in constructing and peer-reviewing items that test critical thinking. Participants can use a pre-workshop survey to determine which areas they may have already mastered so that they can attend sessions that are ideally suited to their needs. They can also complete the workbook readings before sessions if they wish.
