This article presents a sixstep problemsolving strategy, aimed at addressing three major problems in the learning and teaching of physics: 1) the demand by physics instructors for effective teaching strategies that could help in the teaching of intuitive conceptual and quantitative reasoning in physics, and how to teach both aspects holistically 2) the students' need for suitable methodology that could help students to fill the gap in textbooks on enhancing their mathematical reasoning abilities, which are essential for reinforcing students' knowledge of conceptual physics and 3) a deficiency in the teaching of physics leading to students not being taught a coherent physics problemsolving strategy that would enable them to engage in both mathematical and conceptual reasoning.Īfter a review of publications made by the Physics Education Research group (PER), the importance of a structured, systemic methodology to solve physics problems is considered.
