Abstract

Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is an indispensable competency of workers as well as engineers in the 21st century. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop for students. Frameworks and scale are 2 importance factors when researches are conducted on developing of competency as well as CPS competency. There are some researchers have interested in on these issues. In the results, the CPS frameworks were divided into at least 2 components: Collaborative and Problem solving. However, with the perspective of CPS competency is not a compound competency, the structure divided into 2 parts is not really suitable, so it is necessary to develop this competency frameworks more appropriately. This article mainly focuses on research results of CPS framework, scales and criteria to evaluate CPS competency of technical students. Research results will be foundations for developing tools to measure the development of the CPS competency.
