Problem solving II: sugested didactical methodologies

Abstract

This paper presents a review of the literature in the area of problem solving, particularly in physics, focusing only on proposed didactical methodologies. Thirty-three papers have been analyzed in terms of theoretical basis, proposed methodology, and research findings, which were organized in a table that served as support for a synthesis made by the authors. It is the second of a four-paper series reviewing different aspects of the problem solving subject.
