Methods
The PISA 2012 assessment of problem solving used a computer-based test to measure students' ability to interact with dynamic technical devices. The assessment focused on interactive problem solving, which involves exploring and identifying the structure of devices to achieve goals. The framework categorized problems into technology or non-technology and social or personal contexts and targeted four cognitive process groups.

Key Insights
The PISA 2012 assessment of problem solving was a computer-based test that included problems requiring interaction with dynamic technical devices. The assessment focused on interactive problem solving (IPS), defined as the ability to explore and identify the structure of devices in dynamic environments to achieve goals. The assessment framework organized problems into technology or non-technology and social or personal contexts, with items targeting four cognitive process groups: exploring and understanding, representing and formulating, planning and executing, and monitoring and reflecting. The assessment aimed to measure cognitive processes involved in problem solving rather than the use of software applications.
