Direct linkHerborn, Katharina; Mustafic, Maida; Greiff, Samuel – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2017
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) assessment is a new academic research field with a number of educational implications. In 2015, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) assessed CPS with a computer-simulated human-agent (H-A) approach that claimed to measure 12 individual CPS skills for the first time. After reviewing the…

Cummings, William K.; Bain, Olga – Educational Studies in Japan: International Yearbook, 2014
The degree of equality in the delivery of education is an important dimension of variation. Some nations believe that the provision of a highly stratified system enhances quality, at least for the minority who are able to gain entry to the elite academic stream. In contrast, other nations prefer a more egalitarian approach to education where all…
