The data presented in this study come from the Spring 2006 semester of a sophomore, calculus-based physics course at Iowa State University. 330 students took the course that was taught by the author of this paper. The course met for three lectures each week, one recitation and one laboratory. The active-learning format of the lecture was approximately 10 min of minilecture about an idea, followed by a conceptual question (referred to as a concepTest[72]) that the students answered via infrared clickers. The students first answered individually, followed by a group discussion, and then provided an answer as a group. Problem solving was discussed in lectures, mainly by modeling the parts of solving multifaceted problems that students have most difficulty with. Over the semester the lecturer modeled several times how to qualitatively analyze a multifaceted problem, what aspects of a drawing a diagram at the start helped the brainstorming process, and sample questions to ask within your group in order to monitor progress through a multifaceted problem. Where feasible, clicker questions were included in these examples to increase student participation. The recitations used a mixture of Physics Tutorials[73] as the vehicle to develop conceptual understanding of the material and context-rich, multifaceted problem solving[62] designed to increase problem-solving skills.
