Establishing Problem-Solving Habits in Introductory Science Courses
DiLisi, Gregory A.; Eulberg, Jennifer E.; Lanese, James F.; Padovan, Patricia
Journal of College Science Teaching, v35 n5 p42-47 Mar-Apr 2006
Students crave problem-solving strategies that promise increased achievement on tests. Student ambitions seem to align with teacher goals, yet students resist using these strategies for various reasons. We seek to establish a pedagogy modifying student behavior so they are more likely to use any strategy a teacher deems useful. (Contains 1 figure and 2 tables.)
