Perspectives on Problem Solving in Educational Assessment
Introduction
Perspectives on Problem Solving in Educational Assessment: Analytical, Interactive, and Collaborative Problem Solving is a peer-reviewed article that was written in 2013 by Greif, Holt and Funke.

This can be explained by a biblical fact that states that mankind lives in a world where he/she is always fraught with fears but he/she is isolated from divine reality (HR Connect, 2005).
The research documented in this article revolves around a large-scale assessment, the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) that includes different assessments that were carried out in 2003, 2012, and 2015, and they included the analysis of various problem-solving abilities. According to Greiff et al (2013), PISA is a continuing cross-sectional analysis of 15-year-old students from 70 countries that include the various states of the Organization...
