Project

Representational adaptivity and problem solving in physics - an explorative study.

Researchers in education consider the facility to fluently use multiple representations and flexiby switch between them as a critical component of the skill of solving problems, both in mathematics and physics. In this project, an explorative study will be conducted to get insight in the representational adaptivity of students during physics problem solving.
