Abstract (english): Problem solving competence cannot be described as a unidimensional construct. At least analytical and dynamic aspects of problem solving competence have to be distinguished if all aspects of problem solving are tobe covered. Analytical problem solving abilities are needed to structure, represent and integrate information. Dynamic problem solving includes aspects of self-regulated learning as well as the ability to adapt the problem solving process to a changing environment by continuously processingfeedback information. The assessment of dynamic aspects of problem solvingcompetence requires dynamic test environments. As a German national optionof PISA 2000, the analytical and dynamic problem solving competencies of15-year-old students were tested using paper-and-pencil tests as well ascomputer-based assessments. Results show that analytical aspects of problemsolving competence are strongly correlated with reasoning, while dynamicproblem solving reflects a specific dimension of self-regulated explorationand control that can be identified across computer-simulated domains.
