A Model of Problem Solving: Its Operation, Validity, and Usefulness in the Case of Organic-Synthesis Problems.
Tsaparlis, Georgios; Angelopoulous, Vasileios
Science Education, v84 n2 p131-53 Mar 2000
Presents a test of the limits of the Johnstone--El-Banna model of problem solving as related to students' responses to organic-synthesis problems. Finds that the predicted pattern was observed in both samples, although the model was more useful for students without previous problem-solving training and for field-independent and field-intermediate students.
