The most productive way to encourage development of HOT in students is through use of the Problem-based Learning (PBL) model. This model organizes learning by solving corresponding problems relative to study courses. Students are directed to develop HOT skills needed for problem-solving ...

In educational large-scale assessments paper-pencil based analytical problem solving was included first (e.g., Programme for International Student Assessment, PISA 2003).

We used stealth assessment, embedded in a game called Use Your Brainz (a slightly modified version of Plants vs. Zombies 2), to measure middle-school students’ problem solving skills. We began by developing a problem solving competency model based on a review of the relevant literature. We then identified ingame indicators that would provide evidence about students’ levels on various problem-so...
