Knowledge of Problem Situations in Physics: A Comparison of Good and Poor Novice Problem Solvers.
de Jong, Ton; Ferguson-Hessler, Monica G. M.
Learning and Instruction, v1 n4 p289-302 1991
Problem-solving models in memories of 11 good and 12 poor novice first-year university students were studied. The students reconstructed physics problems seen briefly, relying on models in memory. Both good and poor students had models of problem situations at their disposal, but good students performed better than poor students. (SLD)
