- Abstract
-
This paper provides an outline for a general framework for the assessment of adults’ problem-solving competencies with special attention paid to the requirements of large-scale assessments. The framework can be used as an input to ongoing discussions regarding international comparative studies of adult competencies such as the “Programme for an International Assessment of Adults’ Competencies” (PIAAC) currently being prepared by the OECD, and may also be used in the context of national studies in this area. Problem solving is understood as a general dimension, strongly related to and partially overlapping with general mental abilities. The problem-solving abilities focused on within this framework clearly target those aspects that are modifiable by learning. The framework encompasses static analytical problem solving as well as dynamic problem solving, and a rationale for instrument development with the intent to yield a hierarchic scale. It emphasizes the importance of the context in which both the concepts as well as the instruments are embedded.
