Publication Type: Research Report Abstract: This report explores developing problem solving skills of first-semester calculus students (n=202) at a midsize (25,000 students) university in the southwest with one-fourth of the student body enrolled at the graduate level. The study was designed to determine base-line problem solving performance among the first-semester calculus students and then measure any change in problem solving performance over the course a fifteen-week semester. Also, an experimental group (n=73) worked 1.5 hours per week in addition to regular class time on challenging group problem solving activities. Findings suggest that students moved from an emergent or developing performance to a proficient performance over the course of the semester at each level of sophistication studied.
