Abstract

Active and problem-based learning environments strive to improve students' problem solving skills. To better understand students' problem solving processes and thus guide the structure and development of such environments, we asked students to solve data structures and algorithms problems and to verbalize their thoughts as they solved them. In this paper, we discuss methodological issues associated with the analysis of their verbalizations. We then analyze and discuss the relationship between statistics that describe students' problem solving process and their performance in the course they were taking at the time, either the data structures or algorithms course.
