Klegeris, Andis; Dubois, Patrick J.; Code, Warren J.; Bradshaw, Heather D. – Higher Education Research and Development, 2019
Problem solving has been characterized as one of the 'employability skills' due to the high demand for such abilities in a modern workplace. Most universities do not monitor progress of the generic problem-solving skills (PSS) of their students due to a lack of available assessment tools. We used previously reported 15-min tests to measure the…
