New Directions in Assessing Historical Thinking, fourth title in the THEN/HiER book series
Even as more Canadian jurisdictions adopt history curricula that specify historical thinking as a goal, valid assessments of historical thinking remain elusive. This challenge is being confronted not only in Canada, but elsewhere around the world. Too often, history tests are simply measures either of factual knowledge or generic reading and writing skills. This edited collection has contributions from leading international assessment and measurement theorists, history education scholars, and history assessment practitioners.
