Attempts at Improving Quantitative Problem-Solving Skills in Large Lecture-Format Introductory Geology Classes
We have used a variety of approaches to introduce quantitative concepts into our introductory geology classes, some of which rely on using case studies of local rivers to improve student interest and appreciation of quantitative methods in scientific problem solving. Fortunately, there are rivers in most parts of the country, so these approaches are easily transferable and applicable in many ar...
متن کاملRepresentational Format, Student Choice, and Problem Solving in Physics
Student problem-solving ability appears to be tied to the representational format of the problem (mathematical, pictorial, graphical, verbal). In a study of a 367-student algebra-based physics class, we examine student problem solving ability on homework problems given in four different representational formats, with problems as close to isomorphic as possible. In addition, we examine students’...
متن کاملInteractive-engagement versus traditional methods: A six-thousand-student survey of mechanics test data for introductory physics courses
A survey of pre/post-test data using the Halloun–Hestenes Mechanics Diagnostic test or more recent Force Concept Inventory is reported for 62 introductory physics courses enrolling a total number of students N56542. A consistent analysis over diverse student populations in high schools, colleges, and universities is obtained if a rough measure of the average effectiveness of a course in promoti...
متن کاملThe Collaborative Problem Solving approach: outcomes across settings.
In the last decade, Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) has become a popular approach to managing the challenging behaviors of children and adolescents, and has established a growing evidence base for reducing oppositional behavior and related outcomes. In contrast with standard behavioral methods that provide incentives for meeting adult expectations, CPS focuses on identifying and treating la...
متن کاملProblem Solving, Modeling, and Local Conceptual Development
The research reported here describes similarities and differences between (a) modeling cycles that students typically go through during 60–90 min solutions to a class of problems thast we refer to as model-eliciting activities, and (b) stages of development that students typically go through during the “natural” development of constructs (conceptual systems, cognitive structures) that cognitive...
