Assessing student expertise in introductory physics with isomorphic problems. II. Effect of some potential factors on problem solving and transfer
In this paper, we explore the use of isomorphic problem pairs (IPPs) to assess introductory physics students’ ability to solve and successfully transfer problem-solving knowledge from one context to another in mechanics. We call the paired problems “isomorphic” because they require the same physics...
