Looking toward the future, there is a need for curricular materials that help students achieve better conceptual understanding of physics in high school, and indications are that CPS is one possible way of achieving this goal.
Further study of Conceptual Problem Solving is warranted, in order to determine which specific elements of a teacher's implementation are linked to student performance. The findings from this study support the goal of emphasizing concepts used to solve problems, so that students do not treat physics problem solving as a hunt for equations that are forgotten soon after a course is over.
