Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
In Week Two, you created a presentation on why
linking assessments with report cards that reflect
CCSS is imperative. In this discussion, you expand
on your knowledge about CCSS and debate the idea
of whether creating high-quality assessments is
necessary. Note that some educators argue that it
is not enough to just create a link between
assessments and report cards, but that
assessments need to be high level and should
instead of only demonstrating mastery by rote
memory. Alternatively, some educators argue that
high-quality assessments cost more than lower
quality assessments (Eisner, 2001; Matthews,
2006; Pulfrey, Buch, & Butera, 2011). One
possible reason for this viewpoint is that higher-
level assessments often include performance
tasks and/or essays that require teacher scoring,
and thus a great deal of time is spent on
evaluating students' work. Conversely, lower-
level assessments measuring basic knowledge
through multiple-choice and true/false responses;
they can be measured using technology and take
ns
id
erably
less tt.»e and
reseiii-a* to m
easur
e.
First, choose a side from the two opposing
viewpoints described above and discuss one
of
these two points:
a. Can the American education system afford
assessments for deeper learning? b. Can the
American education system afford not to have
such high-quality assessments?
Next, discuss if it is necessary to share assessment
items, rubrics and 21st-century practices with
fellow colleagues.
Guided Response: Respond to at least two peers.
Find one peer who has the same argument you
chose and one peer who chose the viewpoint you
did not. Debate how your viewpoint is different. If
your viewpoint is similar to that of your peers
discuss the similarities. Evaluate your peers'
responses to the use of multimedia resources with
regard to critical thinking and problem solving.
Though two replies is the basic expectation, for
deeper engagement and learning, you are
encouraged to provide responses to any
comments or questions others have given to you,
including the instructor. Responding to the replies
given to you will further the conversation and
provide additional opportunities for you to
demonstrate your content expertise, critical
thinking, and real-world experiences with this
topic.
