Operational definition of conceptual problem solving
We have broadly defined CPS above as a general approach for physics problem solving by which solvers integrate the selection of a principle/ concept, its justification, and generate procedures for applying the principle/ concept. The central thesis of the chapter is that teaching learners to use CPS provides both a deeper understanding of the domain and can even help in solving problems. In the sections that follow, we describe three studies that explore the value of different implementations of CPS with both college undergraduates and high school students. We begin with a study that compared a top-down approach for solving problems to a novice equation-centered approach. We then describe a teaching experiment conducted in a large undergraduate course that highlighted the role of principles, justifications, and procedures in problem solving. Finally, we describe an approach to implement CPS in high school physics instruction that allows for flexibility on the part of teachers. In all three cases, findings demonstrate that CPS is effective for helping students achieve a better understanding of how concepts relate to problem solving, as mea-sured by a variety of assessments.
