The Nature of Problem Solving
Using Research to Inspire 21st Century Learning
Solving non-routine problems is a key competence in a world full of changes, uncertainty
and surprise where we strive to achieve so many ambitious goals. But the world is
also full of solutions because of the extraordinary competences of humans who search
for and find them. We must explore the world around us in a thoughtful way, acquire
knowledge about unknown situations efficiently, and apply new and existing knowledge
creatively.
The Nature of Problem Solving presents the background and the main ideas behind the
development of the PISA 2012 assessment of problem solving, as well as results from
research collaborations that originated within the group of experts who guided the
development of this assessment. It illustrates the past, present and future of problem-solving
research and how this research is helping educators prepare students to navigate an
increasingly uncertain, volatile and ambiguous world.
