T45 RTD: Assessing Problem Solving Process Skills Using the DEEPER Rubric: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis

• In Event: Roundtables - Thursday
  In Roundtable Session: Roundtables I - RTD

Short Description

This study examines the structure of a rubric to measure problem-solving process skills based on a problem-solving process scaffolding framework entitled DEEPER – Define, Explore, Explain, Present, Evaluate, and Reflect. In this study, 205 high school students were rated by their teachers on the DEEPER rubric after engaging in a week-long problem-solving activity. A confirmatory factor analysis based on a six-factor model demonstrated that the six-factor model is a reasonable fit and is a significant improvement in fit over a one-factor model.
