Description

A variety of research-based instructional strategies have been designed to promote students’ self-monitoring in physics problem solving but few are implemented, either because of structural constraints or teachers’ perceptions. Although digital activities can help teachers cope with structural constraints their perceptions may still pose a challenge. In this study we focused on teacher leaders and their experiences with digital activities in a professional learning communities program and in their high school physics classrooms. Interviews with 10 teacher leaders revealed that while they acknowledged the positive aspects of these activities, they overlooked their role in promoting self-monitoring in physics problem solving.
