Facilitating
and Measuring Critical Thinking
A workshop facilitated by:
Sharon La Voy, Office of Institutional Research and Planning &
CTE Staff
Few terms are deployed so often
in higher education as “critical thinking,” and there are many ways to
encourage, identify, and evaluate this skill. Critical thinking is one of the
CORE student learning outcomes required of all students at Maryland. How can we
measure the success of our students’ efforts to achieve this goal? Come to the
CTE workshop. Hear about recent campus work to assess student critical thinking
and engage in conversations on ways to facilitate critical thinking. Sharon La
Voy from the Office of Institutional Research and Planning (OIRP) will talk
about the campus’s pilot project to assess students’ critical thinking in CORE
courses. Faculty will have the opportunity to evaluate sample student work using
a rubric to measure critical thinking.
