The Effect of Students' Learning Orientations on Performance in Problem Solving Pedagogical Implementations [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Students' learning orientation, as applied towards learning problem solving, may be differentiated into learning a problem solving framework for its own sake, learning for the sake of doing well in the course, and non-goal-related considerations. In previous work, the role of learning orientation in student performance on a metacognitive problem solving exercise appeared to have some correlation with choice of major within life sciences, gains in conceptual understanding and attitudes towards problem solving skills. We examine a larger data set, taken from fourteen laboratory sections over six semesters of an introductory algebra-based physics course at the University of Central Arkansas, in which students worked on the problem solving exercise with their laboratory partners prior to a conceptually related laboratory exercise. We discuss the implications of analysis of the larger data set, in consideration of two arguably different IPLS-like populations.
