- Abstract
We analyze the solutions of a kinematics problem with different types of information presented by students of middle school, high school, and university (who study physics). We tried to establish a relationship between their solution method preferences and their cognitive level. We found that most middle school students were not able to solve the problem. The high school students presented mainly graphical and algebraic solutions, without being able to interpret the analytical solutions. The university students who study physics prefer to use analytical solutions. The results suggest that the cognitive level plays a key role in organizing their knowledge and procedures for solving physics problems.
