Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study attempted to develop computer programs that properly evaluate students’ understanding and interpretation on problem sets by showing basic steps of problem-solving processes. This computer-based survey can capture not only problem-solving skills but also the processes that each student take. It can be an effective tool to find weak points especially for students who have difficulty in understanding particular subjects. The software system should be incorporated in teaching as a strong educational tool of digital textbooks.
