DEVELOPMENT OF ASSESSMENT APPROACHES FOR TRAINING STUDENTS'ABILITIES IN PRONBLEM SOLVING

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide examples of the development of assessment approaches for students'abilities. For this purpose, first I sort out problems with assessment approaches that previous researches have suggested so far. At the same time, I suggest sevral viewpoints we should take into consideration to cultivate that kind abilities. After that, I give concrete examples of the development of education of evaluation methods for that ability. Next, I suggest three types of assessment approaches of the ability of problem solving:the limited type(type A)within the situation in question, the free type(type B)from the situation in question, and the method of having students make a self-evaluation, using A or B assessment types(type C). Then I give examples in which we adapted these three types to concrete teaching contents and discuss advantages and disadvantages of each type application.
