• In Event: Computational Thinking and Problem Solving

Abstract

Collaborative problem solving (CPS) skills are important for workplace success, but little research targets developing research-driven tools that support the development of CPS skills with formative assessment tasks in higher education contexts. We describe a CPS training program and evaluate the extent to which formative assessments tasks elicit targeted skills.
