This paper focuses on the creation, utilisation, and validation of a reasoning model for solving kinematics problems. This model may apply to other types of learning content (concepts, procedures, but primarily arguments). The study was conducted during a school year with 60 students using a pre-test and post-test method to quantify the effectiveness of the reasoning model developed in problem solving. The statistical analysis revealed a statistically significant difference between the performance of the experimental and control groups. The results suggest that the development and use of this type of metareasoning, which is necessary for building a reasoning model, are of great help in teaching our students to reason about kinematics problem solving. | Using concept maps to create reasoning models to teach thinking: An application for solving kinematics problems
