Assessing Cognitive Attributes in the 8th grade Geometry

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study identified what cognitive attributes are required of eighth graders to solve geometrical problems such as ‘Recall,’ ‘Analyze,' ‘Justify,' ‘Synthesize/Integrate,' and 'Solve Non-routine Problems' by using the cognitive diagnostic theory. The five attributes are proved as the skills for solving the geometric problems. Many students have not fully mastered the attributes of ‘Justify' and ‘Synthesize/Integrate'. There was high correlation between these attributes. ‘Analyze' best predicted the changes in the geometric achievement. And while students with high levels of geometrical achievement have mastered all the five attributes, those in the mid- and low-level range of performance have mastered fewer attributes.
