Vítor Rosa, João Sampaio Maia and Daniela Mascarenhas, researchers at CeiED, publish a new scientific article in EduSer, of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança. This article, entitled “O PISA 2015 e a resolução colaborativa de problemas: os resultados dos alunos portugueses”, presents an analysis of one of the literacy domains of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA): Collaborative Problem Solving (CPR).

Compared to other literacies assessed by PISA (Reading, Science, Mathematics, Finance), CPR has been little studied in Portugal. An interpretative methodology was used based on reports and databases produced by different organisations.  The results reveal that Portugal is at the top of the scale regarding the valuing of relationships and valuing teamwork, pointing out that Portuguese 15-year-old students feel socially integrated, that boys obtain lower global assessments than girls, following international trends and that there is a differentiation between NUTS III regions. In the correlational analysis made between the scores of CPR and other International Large Scale Assessments (ILSA), it was found that there is a statistically significant, positive correlation only with the three domains of PISA-2015 – Reading, Mathematics and Science
