Physics Learning with a Computer Algebra System: Towards a Learning Environment That Promotes Enhanced Problem Representations
Elwin R. Savelsbergh; Monica G. M. Ferguson-Hessler; Ton de Jong
Annual Meeting of the National Association for Research in Science Teaching 1998 (March 1998)
An approach to teaching problem-solving based on using the computer software Mathematica is applied to the study of electrostatics and is compared with the normal approach to the module. Learning outcomes for both approaches were not significantly...

The Importance of an Enhanced Problem Representation: On the Role of Elaborations in Physics Problem Solving
Elwin R. Savelsbergh; Monica G. M. Ferguson-Hessler; Ton de Jong
Annual Meeting of the European Conference on Learning and Instruction 1997 (August 1997)
This study of physics problem-solving identifies reasoning mechanisms that enable the problem-solver to achieve the transformation to a physics structure of the problem situation. Elaboration is explored as a mechanism in fulfilling this...
