- Abstract
Active learning theory indicates the importance of helping students take control of their learning, monitor their understanding, and assess learning strategies. Knowledge surveys are intended to improve a student's ability to selfassess and cover the content and the full range of cognitive levels of a course. We explore an interdisciplinary data set of knowledge surveys and exams, asking whether student's ability to self-assess differs at different cognitive (Bloom) levels. Although self assessment accuracy was strongly related to the Bloom level of exam questions, this dependence was not simple. Students had the most difficulty self-assessing at intermediate Bloom levels.
