Coglink: Linking Cognition to High-Stakes Testing
Coglink: Linking Cognition to High-Stakes Testing
July 21, 2025 – Shoresh Chicago 2025
Overview
These days all countries, even those with the most efficient educational systems are concerned with relatively poor results that their students demonstrate in such high-stakes international exams as PISA and TIMMS. The problem is that school curricula are still organized around the disciplinary content knowledge while high-stakes exams require much more flexible problem-solving strategies and the ability to apply them to everyday life situations.
The Feuerstein approach proved to be effective in developing exactly such flexible problem-solving strategies. Now these strategies have been linked directly to a sample of high-stakes assessment tasks.
Seminar participants will learn how to use selected tasks of the Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment program (FIE-1) for developing students’ problem-solving skills which can be linked directly to the solution of the high-stakes exam tasks.
