GUIDELINES FOR EVALUATION

Team and Individual Problem Solving

PURPOSE OF EVALUATION

The primary purpose of Future Problem Solving (FPS) evaluation is to provide coaches and students with feedback that allows them to develop and improve their problem solving skills. Team problem solving is performance-based and evaluation is authentic assessment of the team’s booklet. Because there is no single “right” answer, FPS employs a variety of strategies to review student work. Specific criteria evaluate performance in each step. Skill improvement remains the most important aspect of evaluation; however, FPS also involves competition and competition scoring must be impartial. A secondary purpose of evaluation is to provide a fair and reliable method for comparing teams in a Future Problem Solving competition.
