Explain how you would approach assessing students’ critical thinking in a whole class discussion based on quality questioning. What are your first considerations?

Critical thinking skills often prove to be a unique and challenging set of skills to assess. For example, consider transformational or materialistically thinking skills in a whole class discussion based on quality questioning. Bear in mind that most people go through 5 stages of thinking (Walsh & Sattes, 2011, p. 62), in this order, after a question is asked:

Attend to the question.
Bring the question to working memory and decode.
Search long-term memory for relevant knowledge.
Bring the relevant knowledge to working memory and form a response.
Answer the question aloud.
