Evaluating the high order thinking skills of online learning students at Hanoi Open University

Tóm tắt

Evaluating the learning outcome of an education progtram is always a problem for any education institution. By admitting that the assessment of overall knowledge is based on the GPA is somewhat obsolete, we really need other measured evaluations for the learning outcome. In general, the learning outcomes of an education program should be measured in terms of knowledge, skills and attitudes which are not reachable by the program design. Even a well-designed tool such as PISA can only evaluate just the mathematic, science and reading knowledge and skills of 15-year-old students. This paper aims to evaluate the high order thinking skills of students from several chosen online programs by analyzing the received survey questionnaire. This research also helps to diagnose the potential weaknesses and suggests some changes to increase the quality of online education programs.
