?:abstract
  • Research has shown that the problem-solving skills of adults with a vocational education and training (VET) background in technology-rich environments (TREs) are often inadequate. However, some adults with a VET background do have sound problem-solving skills. The present study provides insight into the socio-demographic, work-related, and everyday life factors that are associated with a strong problem-solving performance. The study builds on large-scale data of the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) and gives insight into VET adults (N=12,929) with strong problem-solving skills in eleven European countries. Findings This study introduces new knowledge with respect to the socio-demographic, work-related, and everyday life background factors that contribute to successful VET adults’ problem-solving skills. Our findings illustrate that a continuous process of development including non-formal and informal activity as well as learning taking place at work is associated with strong performance in problem-solving skills in TRE. An important implication of this study is that this article explored new knowledge about good problem-solvers in TREs with a VET background and can be used to support the development of VET adults’ problem-solving skills in TREs.
