Promoting Skilled Problem-Solving Behavior among Beginning Physics Students
Jose P. Mestre
Journal of Research in Science Teaching Vol. 30, No. 3 (1993) pp. 303–17
Beginning physics students (n=42) were constrained to analyze mechanics problems according to a hierarchical scheme that integrated concepts, principles, and procedures. After five one-hour sessions, students increased their reliance on the use of...

Coordination of Knowledge in Judging Animated Motion
Thomas C. Thaden-Koch; Robert J. Dufresne; Jose P. Mestre
Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research Vol. 2, No. 2 (2006) pp. 20107–1
Coordination class theory is used to explain college students' judgments about animated depictions of moving objects. diSessa's coordination class theory models a "concept" as a complex knowledge system that can reliably determine a particular type...

Change Blindness as a Means of Studying Expertise in Physics
Adam Feil; Jose P. Mestre
Journal of the Learning Sciences Vol. 19, No. 4 (2010) pp. 480–505
Previous studies examining expertise have used a wide range of methods. Beyond characterizing expert and novice behavior in different contexts and circumstances, many studies have examined the processes that comprise the behavior itself and, more...
