How can I assess critical thinking in my students?

How can I assess critical thinking in my students?

You can assess critical thinking through various methods such as open-ended questions, case studies, and group discussions.

What types of open-ended questions should I use?

Consider questions that require analysis, evaluation, and synthesis, like "What are the implications of..." or "How would you approach...".

Can you give me an example of a case study?

Sure! A case study could involve a real-world problem, like climate change, where students must propose solutions based on research.

How do I evaluate their responses effectively?

Use a rubric that focuses on criteria such as clarity of thought, depth of analysis, and the ability to support arguments with evidence.
