Using Assessment to Promote Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills in Adults
Abstract
Adult education in the twenty-first century is tasked with developing skilled workers with critical thinking and problem solving skills that will allow them to succeed in a fast-paced and rapidly changing economy. Most adult education takes place in structured educational settings and course-level assessment is seen to be the strongest factor directing students‘ time and energy in such settings. Therefore, course-level assessment methods, which are the grading practices and methods within a course environment, should be used to promote critical thinking and problem solving skills in adults. This chapter describes formative and summative assessment methods and techniques that promote these higher order thinking skills in adults.
