Currently I am searching for some reliable and valid tools for assessing preschoolers' problem solving abilities. The specific problem solving skills I intend to assess include problem representation, planning, execution, and evaluation (based on Zelazo et al. (1997)'s framework of problem solving).
Although Zelazo et al. (1997) reviewed a set of related tools, these tools were mainly used for assessing executive functioning in the literature, rather than the problem solving skills specifically. My question is: Are there any existing validated measures assessing the problem solving skills (i.e., problem representation, planning, execution, and evaluation) among preschoolers? Thanks!
Fathia Lahwal Thanks for your sharing. Appreciate if any cognitive test for assessing specific domains of PS (i.e., Problem representation, planning, execution, and evaluation) are suggested. For planning skills, I learned from McCormack and Atance (2011)'s review article that three commonly used assessments included: Tower task (e.g., Tower of Hanoi), Route-planning tasks (e.g., Kitten Delivery task), and Real-world planning task. I am wondering if any tasks for assessing other three domains of PS. Thanks again!
Me encantaría compartir experiencias en base a su propuesta, he revisado la George Polya, me pareció interesante.
