A case study of how upper-division physics students use visualization while solving electrostatics problems

Creator:

Browne, Kerry P.

Abstract:

Presented here is a case study of the problem-solving behaviors of upper-division undergraduate physics majors. This study explores the role of visual representations in students' problem solving and provides a foundation for investigating how students' use of visualization changes in the upper-division physics major. Three independent studies were conducted on...
