  • 1.  Problem solving test

    Posted 07-21-2008 01:02
    I'm searching for a problem solving test for my Critical Thinking and
    Problem Solving course.

    For the critical thinking component, I've been using Ennis-Weir (adapted
    for the culture) and another essay-style test pre- and post-course.

    Now I'm searching for something to better measure gains in problem solving
    effectiveness. Assistance and advice appreciated.

    Terence:

    A good source for identifying specific tests is Buros. You can search by
    title or attribute and identify specific instruments, and then get
    reviews for many of those that you do identify. Here is the url:

    Good luck.
