We study how introductory physics students engage in reflection with peers about problem solving. The recitations for an introductory physics course with 200 students were broken into a “peer reflection” (PR) group and a traditional group. Each week in recitation, small teams of students in the PR group reflected on selected problems from the homework and discussed why the solutions of some students employed better problem solving strategies than others. The graduate and undergraduate teaching…

Impact of Guided Reflection with Peers on the Development of Effective Problem Solving Strategies and Physics Learning
Students must learn effective problem solving strategies in order to develop expertise in physics. Effective problem solving strategies include a conceptual analysis of the problem followed by…
Views of female students who played the role of group leaders in introductory physics labs
Understanding student views about learning physics in the lab context can be invaluable for efforts to improve student learning. In an ethnographic study in which two researchers observed…
Using Peer Feedback to Promote Reflection on Open-Ended Problems
This paper describes a new approach for learning from homework called Peer-Assisted Reflection (PAR). PAR involves students using peer feedback to improve their work on open-ended homework problems.…
Surveying Graduate Students' Attitudes and Approaches to Problem Solving
Students' attitudes and approaches to problem solving in physics can profoundly influence their motivation to learn and development of expertise. We developed and validated an Attitudes and…

The challenges of changing teaching assistants' grading practices: Requiring students to show evidence of understanding
Teaching assistants (TAs) are often responsible for grading in introductory physics courses at large research universities. Their grading practices can shape students’ approaches to problem solving…
Successful Problem Solving in Genetics Varies Based on Question Content.
TLDR
It is found that students used some processes differently depending on the content of the question, but reasoning was consistently predictive of successful problem solving across all content areas.
Student Explanations in the Context of Computational Science and Engineering Education
TLDR
Students’ explanations in the context of computational science and engineering is explored, suggesting that experienced students wrote simple in-code comments to self-explain, but students with lower ability to do computer programing wrote more comprehensive explanations, as they may take this as a learning opportunity.
Undergraduate and Graduate Students' Attitudes and Approaches to Problem Solving
Student attitudes and approaches to problem solving in physics and astronomy may influence their development of expertise, as well as their engagement and perception of physics and astronomy as an…
Physics postgraduate teaching assistants’ grading approaches: conflicting goals and practices
Grading can shape students' learning and encourage use of effective problem solving practices. Teaching assistants (TAs) are often responsible for grading student solutions and providing feedback,…
