The research study examines how students solve problems using the resources activated by the question prompt and structure during the problem-solving process. Similar to 115 research reports from Braun and Graulich and Gao, Outlaw, et al., the research prompts and chemical structures differ, which can result in activation of differing resources. The resources framework also emphasizes that experience with a wider range of prompts will impact the specific resources activated. Given the focus on both OC1 and OC2, the participants from the two courses will have differing extents of experience analyzing organic 120 structures. Additionally, similar to research by Kranz et al., we seek to develop themes based on these observations to develop scaffolding activities to promote both activation and productive use of resources.
