CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION BANK TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Critical Thinking Question Bank is a new MicrobeLibrary collection of peer-reviewed multiple choice questions that go beyond rote memory and recall to requiring critical thought. The level of critical thinking is designated minimally at level three (application) in Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognitive Levels with the questions categorized based on the 2011 ASM Recommended Curriculum Guidelines. Designed especially for interactive learning using audience response systems, the questions are of value for pre- and post-tests or traditional exams, and may be used in the classroom or laboratory or on-line in blended-and distance-learning experiences.

MicrobeLibrary is currently accepting submissions for the Critical Thinking Question Bank. The success and scope of this question bank depends on the willingness of microbiology educators to submit questions for possible inclusion. Those submitting questions accepted for publication will have their names listed in the question bank and will receive an official letter from MicrobeLibrary that explains the purpose and scope of MicrobeLibrary’s Critical Thinking Question Bank and indicates the number of questions that author had accepted for publication during that year. Please consider submitting question!

See the following link for further information on how to submit questions for peer review and possible publication in MicrobeLibrary’s Critical Thinking Question Bank:
