  2. 1. Engineering problem solving : The case of the Laplace transform as a difficulty in learning in electric circuits and as a tool to solve real world problems

    Author : Margarita González Sampayo; Caroline Baillie; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; engineering students; understanding; electric circuit theory; learning engineering; Education; Pedagogik;

    Abstract : For engineers it is important to be able to use the ’skill’ of for example handling novel situations in powerful ways and to develop and design. They are expected to be able to understand theories and models and their connection to objects and events in the physical world and being able to apply these models and theories. READ MORE

  4. 2. Exploring and modeling response process data from PISA : inferences related to motivation and problem-solving

    Author : Erik Lundgren; Hanna Eklöf; Inga Laukaityte; Per-Erik Lyrén; Samuel Greiff; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; response processes; large-scale assessments; motivation; problem-solving; computational modeling; Bayesian modeling; didactics of educational measurement; beteendevetenskapliga mätningar;

    Abstract : This thesis explores and models response process data from large-scale assessments, focusing on test-taking motivation, problem-solving strategies, and questionnaire response validity. It consists of four studies, all using data from PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) data. READ MORE

  7. 5. Computational problem solving in university physics education : Students’ beliefs, knowledge, and motivation

    Author : Madelen Bodin; Mikael Winberg; Diane Grayson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; physics education; computational physics; simulation; beliefs; motivation; mental models; network analysis; didactics of physics; fysikdidaktik;

    Abstract : Solving physics problem in university physics education with a computational approach requires knowledge and skills in several domains, for example, physics, mathematics, programming, and modelling. These competences are in turn related to students' beliefs about these domains as well as about learning, and their motivation to learn. READ MORE
