highly transferable, in that they are relevant to many social contexts and work situations

“learnable” and, therefore, subject to the influence of policy.

At the most fundamental level, literacy and numeracy constitute a foundation for developing higher order cognitive skills, such as analytic reasoning, and are essential for gaining access to and understanding specific domains of knowledge. In addition, the capacity to manage information and solve problems in technology-rich environments (PSTRE) – that is, to access, evaluate, analyse and communicate information – is becoming as important as understanding and interpreting text-based information and being able to handle mathematical content. The PSTRE ability has a greater importance with the ICT applications becoming one of the most crucial features in most workplaces, in education and in everyday life.

In PIAAC, the PSTRE is defined as “using digital technology, communication tools and networks to acquire and evaluate information, communicate with others and perform practical tasks”. The first cycle of the survey focuses on “the abilities to solve problems for personal, work and civic purposes by setting up appropriate goals and plans, and accessing and making use of information through computers and computer networks” (OECD, 2012).

Based on the description of the PSTRE, effective undertaking of CIS tasks is regarded as requiring PSTRE skills at level 1 at least because individuals at this level are able to use e-mail software or a web browser. Effective undertaking of OPS tasks is regarded as requiring PSTRE skills at level 2 at least because individuals at this level are able to use more specific technology tools or applications (e.g. a sort function).
