Abstract This paper discusses two computerised assessment tools, built on problem-based tasks that collect data on criteria such as change of attitudes and the use of thinking strategies. Examples of the application of the new tools are presented, and comments are made about the problem-solving process and the use and analysis of resulting data. The nature of the data generated required an innovative model of interpretation. This paper shows that there is a pattern underlying the production of such tools, which underpins models for the creation of new problem-based tasks, planning their use in teaching situations, and large-scale assessments.
