Accepting the Challenge: Technology-Based Performance Assessment of University Students’ Critical Thinking in Times of ChatGPT

Sat, April 13, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 116

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Universities increasingly use performance assessments (PAs) to measure students’ complex (meta-)cognitive skills and learning outcomes. Using a holistic criterion-sampling approach, the PAs represent real-life decision-making situations in which critical thinking or other skills are required to meeting academic/professional demands. Technology-based PAs provide new opportunities for valid measuring complex skills like critical reasoning in real online learning environments by collecting multimodal response-process data like log files and conducting mix-methods analyses (incl. process-mining) and learning analytics. However, PAs pose conceptual, methodological and practical challenges in times of ChatGPT because text generating is a key component of the measurement. This symposium discusses frontiers, advances, and research perspectives of technology-based PA approaches of measuring university students’ critical thinking/online reasoning that embrace generative AI developments.
