Cognitive and Metacognitive Problem-Solving Strategies in Post-16 Physics: A Case Study Using Action Research

by Michael J. Reiss and Ronald Mazorodze

This book reports on a study on physics problem solving in real classrooms situations.
Problem solving plays a pivotal role in the physics curriculum at all levels. However, physics students' performance in problem solving all too often remains limited to basic routine problems, with evidence of poor performance in solving problems that go beyond equation retrieval and substitution. Adopting an action research methodology, the study bridges...
