Identification of Strategies Used in Solving Transformational Geometry Problems.
Boulter, Douglas R.; Kirby, John R.
Journal of Educational Research, v87 n5 p298-303 May-Jun 1994
Study investigated how to characterize students' transformational geometry problem-solving strategies, how strategies characterized particular subjects, and how strategy usage related to performance. Videotapes indicated problem-solving responses could be classified consistently, some students preferred holistic processing, some items readily elicited holistic strategies, and analytic strategy usage was related to success.
