Group problem solving tutorials have been in lise in the Department of Physics at the University of Cape Town for more than a decade. They are implemented with the belief that students have the opportunity to develop problem-solving skills through interacting with each other, and are able to make sense of physics concepts through conversation and reasoning with their peers. These problem solving sessions are supervised by tutors who are typically postgraduate students. The present project focused on understanding the role that these tutors play in facilitating learning in cooperative problem solving physics tutorials, and explored the factors that result in a group of students deciding to call a tutor, the different ways in which tutors interact with a group of students, and the factors which are related to the intervention of tutors that affect the learning outcomes in a physics cooperative learning session. 2014-08-13T20:05:37Z 2014-08-13T20:05:37Z 2005 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6531 eng application/pdf Department of Physics Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
