This edited volume provides a platform for experts from various fields to introduce

and discuss their different perspectives on the topic of teamwork and collaborative

problem solving. It brings together researchers in organizational teaming, educational

collaboration, tutoring, simulation, and gaming as well as those involved in statistical

and psychometric process modelling. This book seeks to channel this expertise towards

advances in the measurement and assessment of cognitive and non-cognitive skills of

individuals and teams.

" The ability to understand the states, traits, and habits of individual learners,

collaborative groups, or team is a necessary prerequisite to guiding, adapting, and

optimizing instructional experiences. The modeling and assessment of learners

interacting with peers, human instructors, or computer-based tutors provides a window

into the effectiveness of instructional tools andmethods that is needed to continuously

improve their learning experiences. Any action taken by the tutor/teacher/instructor without knowledge of those being taught is a shot in the dark. We applaud those who

dedicate their lives to helping us solve the hard problems that will turn on the light and

allow us to easily tailor learning experiences for every person." (Robert Sottilare, Ph.D., US Army Research Laboratory, Adaptive Training Scientist)
