Conclusion
The findings from our research supported the creative thinking framework as a robust foundation on which to base assessment.
The data provided validation and iteratively informed the definitions in the skill development framework and the levels of skill development.
On the basis of such project work, ACER is contributing to the international resear.

Monitoring Growth
As specific behaviours demonstrated by students can indicate the processes or cognitive ‘moves’ by which they complete creative tasks and solve problems, identification of these behaviours allows for capturing evidence of the processes involved in thinking creatively.
Using item response theory (IRT), assessments such as these help us to understand.
