Challenges in designing appropriate scaffolding to improve students’ representational consistency: The case of a Gauss’s law problem
Prior research suggests that introductory physics students have difficulty with graphing and interpreting graphs. Here, we discuss an investigation of student difficulties in translating between mathematical and graphical representations for a problem in electrostatics and the effect of increasing l...
