Measuring What Matters: Challenges and Opportunities in Assessing Critical Thinking

Sat, April 11, 11:45am to 1:15pm PDT (11:45am to 1:15pm PDT), InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown, Floor: 6th Floor, Broadway

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

Despite its central role in fostering intellectual autonomy and lifelong learning, assessing authentic critical thinking (CT) skills in higher education remains a persistent challenge. The limitations of traditional assessment methods underscore the need for more valid and reliable measures that capture the complexity of students’ reasoning, problem-solving, and reflective judgment. As institutions strive to prepare graduates for an increasingly complex and interdisciplinary world, investing in robust, equity-minded approaches to teaching and assessing critical thinking is not only essential, it is imperative for advancing meaningful educational outcomes and institutional accountability.
