Can We Test Validly for Critical Thinking?

Norris, Stephen P.

Educational Researcher, v18 n9 p21-26 Dec 1989

Discusses the generalizability of critical thinking and the disposition to think critically. Argues that verbal reports of examinees' thinking on multiple-choice tests can explain the reasoning behind their answers and, thus, can be used to assess the inability to make credibility judgments. (FMW)
