CI doctoral student presents at education symposium

FSU College of Information doctoral student Kyungwon Koh is presenting a work-in-progress research poster entitled, Assessing Students’ Critical Thinking Promoted by Radical Change Information-Seeking Behavior in the Digital Age, at a symposium series poster session on Oct. 30-31. The FSU College of Education and its Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems are hosting the Assessment for the 21ST Century Symposium Series.

“This is an honor and a reflection on Kyungwons work,” said Dr. Eliza Dresang, “The process was very competitive and the conference will host prominent speakers.”

The symposium features two interweaving themes: (a) innovative assessment design for supporting 21st Century educational needs, and (b) assessment issues relevant to state departments of education. The three outstanding keynote speakers include: James Gee (Arizona State), Russell Almond (ETS), and Mari Pearlman (a private consultant).

Dr. Valerie Shute, an affiliated faculty member with I-CELTIC and an associate professor of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems, is one of the symposium organizers along with Dr. Betsy Becker.
