Query: Physics problems and instructional strategies for developing social
  networks in university classrooms   In this study, we explored the extent to which problems and instructional
strategies affect social cohesion and interactions for information seeking in
physics classrooms. Three sections of a mechanics physics course taught at a
Chilean University in Coquimbo were investigated. Each section had a weekly
problem-solving session using different sets of well and/or ill-structured
problems (i.e., algebra-based and open-ended problems respectively), as well as
instructional strategies for guiding the problem-solving sessions. Data was
collected on networks of information seeking and perceptions of good physics
students, during a problem-solving session. We used social network analysis
(SNA) for constructing variables while conducting the study. Results suggest
that the teaching and learning strategies to guide problem-solving of well and
ill-structured problems yield different levels of social interaction among
classmates, and significant levels of activity in seeking out information for
learning and problem-solving. While strategies for guiding problem-solving lend
to significant differences for network connectivity, well and ill-structured
physics problems predict similar levels of social activity.
