Bodner, George M.; McMillen, Theresa L. B. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1986
Examines the hypothesis that there are preliminary stages in problem solving that are often neglected in teaching chemistry. Discusses correlations calculated between the student's ability to handle disembedding and cognitive restructuring tasks in the spatial domain and ability to solve chemistry problems. (TW)
