Teachers must know their student's cognitive levels in order to design their instruction. Students at the high school level do not usually have the Formal Reasoning skills for basic physics concepts.
The FCI? I think there's also a formal reasoning test somewhere out there... Otherwise, I would mostly assume that my students are average and therefore do not have formal reasoning skills?
How do you as a teacher test and/or get to know your students cognitive levels?
