{"pk":30531,"title":"Studying the Problem Solving Behavior of Experts and Novices in Physics Via Computer-Bassed Problem-Analysis Environments","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The design and architecture of two user-controlled, computer-based problemanalysis environments in classical mechanics are discussed. In theexpert-like environment, the user analyzes problems according to ahierarchical concept schema consistent with how experts analyze novel problemsin physics. In the second environment, the user searches a large equationdata-base utilizing novice-like, surface feature keywords in order to locatethe appropriate equation(s) to use in solving a problem. Cognitive andpedagogical implications of the research are discussed.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Poster Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9v03n9vn","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jose","middle_name":"","last_name":"Mestre","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Massachusetts, Amherst","department":""},{"first_name":"William","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gerace","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Massachusetts, Amherst","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1986-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30531/galley/20381/download/"}]}
