A Statewide Approach to Measuring Critical Thinking Skills.

Sternberg, Robert J.; Baron, Joan B.

Educational Leadership, v43 n2 p40-43 Oct 1985

The state of Connecticut has introduced a fourth-grade mastery test that assesses thinking skills. The test was developed cooperatively by the state's Department of Education, a testing corporation, and several cognitive psychologists; several alternative models of thinking were synthesized to produce a theoretical foundation for the test.
