Area of Research: Cognitive Aspects of Problem Solving in Introductory Physics.
Our
research aims to understand the underlying cognitive mechanisms of the
problem solving approaches of introductory physics students. The
guiding framework we adopt comes mainly from the educational work of
Frederick Reif. Broadly it falls under the information processing
paradigm of cognitive science. The framework advocates a systematic
approach to the learning and teaching of problem solving. The basic
premise is that learning in any domain becomes efficient and easier if
the underlying component skills pertaining to the domain are elucidated
and explicitly instructed.
