The Fight against Infectious Diseases: The Essential Role of Higher-Order Thinking and Problem-Solving

“…Closely related but not equivalent to CPS is adaptive problem-solving (APS; Greiff et al 2017 ). APS reflects the ability “to react to unforeseen changes and new information in a flexible and adaptive way” ( Greiff et al 2021 ), which is certainly of great value when it comes to consequential world problems.…”

“…Consequently, the constant monitoring of the problem situation is needed, as well as an adaptation as necessary. Hence, adaptive problem-solvers must engage not only in cognitive, but also strongly in metacognitive processes to define the problem, search for information, and apply a solution ( Greiff et al 2017 ). Metacognitive processes describe the ability to adjust one’s comprehension of the problem as necessary, evaluate the possible solutions, and monitor the progress toward set goals ( Greiff et al 2021 ).…”

Medienbezogene Kompetenzerfassung bei Erwachsenen

“…Zwar wird in der Begründung der Kompetenzdomäne insbesondere auf das Konstrukt des Problemlösens und die Bedeutung von Problemlösefähigkeiten in modernen Gesellschaften und Arbeitsumgebungen verwiesen, dass diese Problemlösung in und mit digitalen Umgebungen erfolgt, scheint dabei aber so selbstverständlich, dass es (gegenüber 2012) gar keiner Erwähnung mehr bedarf. Dafür widmen die Autoren den Kompetenzbereich grundlegenden Working-Papers (Greiff et al 2017) ein ganzes Kapitel der Gegenüberstellung und Abgrenzung von adaptivem Problemlösen und digital literacy und plädieren für eine Weiterentwicklung des PIAAC-Instrumentariums, um einerseits digital literacy und adaptives Problemlösen getrennt zu erfassen bzw. in der Auswertung getrennt analysieren zu können.…”
