• W138100203 abstract "Introduction In 1852, John Henry Newman (1996) wrote that knowledge was more than a mere collection of facts, Knowledge is a and does a something (p. 107). This statement reflects the need for students to be reflective thinkers. Higher education is designed to produce graduates who. exercise critical judgment and possess the ability to synthesize and evaluate. These skills require that teaching and learning reflect the opportunity for students to develop higher level thinking skills. Professors often struggle to design and evaluate appropriate learning activities that will produce logical and creative thinking skills in their students. Benjamin Bloom (1956) produced a taxonomy of educational objectives that can be used to design lesson plans and identify correlating behaviors on tests. Bloom's Taxonomy serves as a guide through the maze of teaching and assessment. Although this taxonomy has provided a road map for teaching and assessment, educators still struggle with creating accurate tests for evaluation. Norman Gronlund (1993) stated that many teachers are not well trained in the skill of test construction. Educating professors on tests and measurements is a solution to this dilemma. Professional development on tests and measurements can be accomplished by providing campus seminars and mentoring. Varying authors (Stedman & Stroot, 1998; Halford, 1998; Santeusanio, 1998) describe how a peer mentor program is a viable method to provide the individual assistance needed to discuss and analyze teaching and assessment practices. Professors are encouraged to document their teaching and testing improvements through the use of a portfolio. Seldin (1997) describes how to design and organize a teaching portfolio which represents a professor's abilities and accomplishments in the classroom. This tool can be used for tenure and promotion. Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify the quality of testing on campus and provide training on improving teaching and test construction to require students to develop higher level thinking skills. Method Subjects-All full-time professors in the fall of 1997 were involved in the study. A total of thirty-three professors participated. Instrument-Each professor submitted two tests he/she had written from courses taught in the fall of 1996. Bloom's Taxonomy of educational objectives was used to evaluate the tests. Procedures-A committee was formed to evaluate the tests submitted. Instructions were given to the committee by the project coordinator on how to assess each test. Each evaluator assessed three to four professors' tests. A worksheet was used to calculate the percentile of each level of learning on the tests. These results were transferred to a graph and shared with the faculty during a faculty retreat; a graph of the college totals was also calculated (example enclosed). A Tests and Measurements Seminar was scheduled and conducted on September 4, 1997. The seminar was conducted by faculty with degrees in education. The faculty was then informed to select a mentor from a list provided which identified faculty with training in tests and measurements. The faculty worked with mentors during the semester to improve their teaching and testing practices to require higher level thinking skills from their students. …" @default.
