A dynamic problem solving strategy
An important issue to be resolved in PER is the lack of an
integrative theoretical framework that can make sense of the
richness of the large amount of empirical results collected
via the many Research Based Instructional Strategies (RBIS)
generated in the field (for a partial listing of RBIS see [3]).
In this regards, some obstacles need to be overcome. In addition to controversial outcomes mentioned in the introduction of this article concerning some RBIS, important ongoing
debates alluding to fundamental issues associated with the
psychology of learning physics [93,94] indicate that we are
still far from reaching such a theoretical framework. Until then, inspired by the scientific method framework, we
find it plausible to enhance the teaching and learning of
physics via dynamic problem solving strategies in order to
strengthen students’ quantitative problem solving skills, a necessity which is further stressed by the occurrence of some
disasters [95,96]
