Peer reviewedCase, Jennifer; Gunstone, Richard; Lewis, Alison – Research in Science Education, 2001
Investigates the metacognitive development of students in a second year chemical engineering course which had such development as an explicit goal. Concludes, among other results, that there is a shift in student approach from a focus on solving problems towards a stronger valuing of conceptual understanding. (Author/MM)
