Summary<\/h2>\n

In this project students’ capacity to reflect and learn from erroneous solutions to a problem is investigated in the common context where students are provided with worked-out examples to physics problems which they then compare to their own attempts to solve these problems. This study was carried out in a college in the US and in Arab-Israeli high schools, in the context of algebra- based introductory courses in mechanics. The results highlight students’ poor ability to acknowledge conflicts between scientific and naive interpretations of the physics principles underlying the solutions.<\/p>\n
