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.
