Tenth graders’ problem-solving performance, self-efficacy, and perceptions of physics problems with different representational formats

Numerical and symbolic representations are used extensively in physics problems. However, relatively little is understood about how students respond to these two representational formats when they are solving problems. This study examined the effect of the representational format (numeric vs symboli...
