Collaboration is a complex skill, comprised of multiple subskills, that is of growing interest to policy makers, educators and researchers. Several definitions and frameworks have been described in the literature to support assessment of collaboration; however, the inherent structure of the construct still needs better definition. In 2015, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, in their Programme for International Student Assessment assessed 15-year-old students’ collaborative problem solving achievement, with the use of computer-simulated agents, aiming to address the lack of internationally comparable data in this field. This paper explores what the data from this assessment tell us about the skill, and how these data compare with data from two other assessments of collaboration. Analyses enable comment on the extent to which the three assessments are measuring the same construct, and the extent to which the construct can be covered using computer-based assessments. These investigations generate better understanding of this complex and innovative domain.

学生协作解决问题表现的比较分析：它告诉我们什么？

协作是一项复杂的技能，由多个子技能组成，政策制定者、教育工作者和研究人员越来越感兴趣。文献中描述了一些定义和框架来支持合作评估；然而，构造的内在结构仍然需要更好的定义。2015 年，经济合作与发展组织在其国际学生评估计划中，使用计算机模拟代理评估了 15 岁学生协作解决问题的成就，旨在解决缺乏国际可比数据的问题。这个领域。本文探讨了该评估的数据告诉我们有关技能的哪些信息，以及如何将这些数据与其他两个协作评估的数据进行比较。分析可以对三个评估衡量同一构念的程度以及使用基于计算机的评估可以涵盖该构念的程度发表评论。这些调查有助于更好地了解这个复杂而创新的领域。
