Improving Student Learning: The Dual Roles of Conceptual Understanding and Reasoning Ability

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Research shows that dual-process theories of reasoning – the fast and slow processes that govern reasoning and decision-making in everyday life – can explain student responses to physics questions. Examples and instructional implications will be discussed.
