As a part of a study of the science preparation of elementary school teachers students’ reasoning skills in courses with interactive engagement teaching-learning strategies are being compared with those in traditional courses. We have devised a rubric based on the hierarchies of knowledge and cognitive processes cited in a two dimensional revision of Bloom’s taxonomy[1].The rubric is being used to assess the levels of reasoning represented in students’ responses to written examination questions. In this way we believe that we can compare students’ pattern of reasoning across disciplines.
