Welcome to the REsearch in Learning, Assessing, and Tutoring Effectively (RELATE|http://relate.mit.edu">RELATE) wiki!
This wiki is dedicated to a discussion how the findings of physics education research can be applied to construct problems that promote the development of problem-solving skill in college-level physics students.
Before contributing, please read the RELATE wiki Copyright and Waiver.
Currently, the discussion contains two principle threads:
1.) What features of physics problems confound novice problem solving techniques and/or reward expert-like problem solving techniques?
Discussion in this thread centers around a list of expert-like problem types.
2.) Can modeling physics be reinforced within the structure of physics problems?
Discussion in this thread centers around a list of models for introductory mechanics.
