This strategic e¤ect is reversed...

We have developed models of how strategies are constructed and retained as male and female high school and university students gain experience in solving online qualitative chemical analysis problems. The most common strategies that students used when solving online problem-solving simulations were first classified using self-organizing artificial neural networks. This resulted in strategy maps...
