I am currently researching Problem solving skills through assessment by incorporating feedback from the learner. The learner could use enhancements techniques of reflecting upon, judgement, community engagement, discretion, student experience, standards of professional competences, while being encourage to advance their own knowledge further.
I have included several links that might help.

A very interesting question. I don't know for sure the answer.
I just want to say that I have a laboratory school in which I try to investigate a better way of teaching to face global era. I ask my teachers to implement what so called by project or problem based learning. I ask them to give ill structured and open-ended problems to their students, and let their students to design, implement, monitor and evaluate their project to solve it.
For me, doing the project is not important. The most important is to develop their 4Cs skills, i.e. critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills. Therefore, what we assess is their enhancement in critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills. We assess them through observing how they perform during the project time, analyzing their portfolio document, and sometime through interview about anything related to the project,
