协作解决问题（CPS）是21世纪世纪劳动力的基本技能，但仍然难以评估。了解CPS技能如何影响CPS绩效结果可以为CPS培训，任务设计，反馈设计和自动评估提供信息。我们调查了CPS的行为（单独和共同发生的模式）在101（N = 303）远程黑社会谁协作玩了一个教育游戏，称为物理操场45分钟。团队互动包括开放式的语音发生在视频会议与屏幕共享。我们编码参与者的话语相对于CPS框架组成的三个方面（即，能力，如构建共享知识）体现在19个具体指标中（例如，回答别人的问题/想法）。使用匹配技术来隔离CPS行为对CPS结果（游戏水平的解决方案的质量）的影响，控制相关协变量。混合效应有序回归模型表明，提出解决方案的想法和讨论的结果是CPS性能的主要预测因素，和团队成员的活动，围绕想法的产生很重要。这些发现强调了个人和集体贡献以及社会和认知技能在成功的CPS结果中的重要性。
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is an essential skill for the 21st century workforce but remains difficult to assess. Understanding how CPS skills affect CPS performance outcomes can inform CPS training, task design, feedback design, and automated assessment. We investigated CPS behaviors (individually and in co-occurring patterns) in 101 (N = 303) remote triads who collaboratively played an educational game called Physics Playground for 45-min. Team interactions consisted of open-ended speech occurring over videoconferencing with screen sharing. We coded participant's utterances relative to a CPS framework consisting of three facets (i.e., competencies such as constructing shared knowledge) manifested in 19 specific indicators (e.g., responds to others' questions/ideas). A matching technique was used to isolate the effect of CPS behaviors on CPS outcomes (quality of solution of a game level) controlling for pertinent covariates. Mixed-effects ordinal regression models indicated that proposing solution ideas and discussing results were the major predictors of CPS performance, and that team-member activities surrounding idea generation mattered. These findings highlighted the importance of both individual and collective contributions and social and cognitive skills in successful CPS outcomes.
