Collaborative problem solving (CPS) has been deemed a critical twenty-first century competency for variety of contexts. However, less attention given to work aimed at the assessment and acquisition such capabilities. Recently large scale efforts have devoted toward assessing CPS skills, but there are no agreed upon guiding principles this complex construct, particularly in digital performance situations. There notable challenges conceptualizing construct extracting evidence skills from...
Abstract Background Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is important for success in the 21st century, especially teamwork and communication technology‐enhanced environments. Measurement of CPS skills has emerged as an essential aspect educational assessment. Modern research relies on theory‐driven measurements that are usually carried out manual annotations over recorded logs collaborative activities. However, annotation limited scalability not conductive towards assessments at scale....
Competency in skills associated with collaborative problem solving (CPS) is critical for many contexts, including school, the workplace, and military. Innovative approaches assessing individuals' CPS competency are necessary, as traditional assessment types such multiple -choice items not well suited a process-oriented competency. In move to computer-based environments support assessment, innovative computational also needed understand behaviors. current study, we describe use of...
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is an important 21st‐century skill for academic and career success, as a result, there increased interest among businesses educational institutions in the assessment development of CPS skills. skills are difficult to measure using traditional forms assessment, that difficulty has led use computer environments allow individuals interact complex situations capture all actions throughout process. In current paper, we describe design collaborative online...
Collaboration can support performance on a variety of tasks, but recent projects have indicated that group collaborations also be associated with memory decrements. For example, when people discuss ideas, any shared inaccurate information used by members to complete subsequent tasks. Across two experiments, we examined whether this social contagion is influenced pressures regularly emerge during interactions. In Experiment 1, participants under individual-directed pressure, goal-directed or...
In a study of 370 postsecondary students in electronics, engineering, and other science classes, we investigated collaborative problem‐solving (CPS) skills that best predict performance at individual levels an online electronics environment. The results showed while monitoring was consistent predictor across levels, such as executing, sharing information, planning, maintaining communication each predicted one or more the task. availability background data on students' content classes...
This study discusses the development of a basic electronics knowledge (BEK) assessment as pretest activity for undergraduate students in engineering and related fields. The 28 BEK items represent 12 key concepts, including properties serial circuits, electrical laws (e.g., Kirchhoff's Ohm's laws), digital multimeters. paper first psychometric evaluation to understand its measurement examine various group‐level differences based on demographic, institutional, instructor characteristics....
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) skills gain great attention in recent years as people are often required to work teams solve problems the complex working environment.Even though CPS is usually treated a domain-general competency assessment, many tasks may be closely related team member's domain knowledge.This research aims explore and disentangle relations between knowledge.Cluster analysis on 378 individuals from 126 an online electronics task discovered two types of collaboration...
