A STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELLING STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF PROBLEM SOLVING STRATEGIES OF CANDIDATE ENGINEERS ON WORD PHYSICS PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS

The primary purpose in basic physics lessons is to teach students basic physics concept and principles, then to teach them how to use these concepts and principles in problem solving because it is believed that students learn physics as long as they are able to solve physics problems. However, resea...

description The primary purpose in basic physics lessons is to teach students basic physics concept and principles, then to teach them how to use these concepts and principles in problem solving because it is believed that students learn physics as long as they are able to solve physics problems.

This situation shows that problem solving behavior in physics lessons itself is a process because solving a physics problem is not only inserting data in a formula.

For understanding this process, it is important to determine which strategies work for the students by using the problem solving strategies that guide the students in the problem solving process in physics courses besides to determine which problem solving strategies that students use.
