is there any tool or survey to investigate students perceptions on the importance of problem-solving skills, this is for students analysis?
There are numerous rubrics used to evaluate things like critical thinking and problem solving. My suggestion is to take the learning goals around which a solid rubric has been formed and use that to create a question series. I actually recently did this myself as I am evaluating the student perceptions of the effectiveness of a scientific methods in business class in enhancing students understanding and ability to apply the scientific method as well as problem solving. Essentially, it is really simple to create a survey instrument to measure student perception around learning goals designed to measure problem solving.
For example, take the first step in the problem solving process which is to define a problem. This can be translated to perhaps a series of statements where you ask students to respond to the level of importance of the following on a five point scale where one equals very unimportant and 5 equals very important.
To anticipate potential problems in complex projects prior to the project starting.
To understand the contextual factors that may cause a problem.
To identify the core question that must be addressed to solve the problem.
To develop a clear problem statement
