The Role of Representations in an Inductive Deductive Inductive Approach in Engineering: Perspective from Mechanics of Materials

An inductive-deductive-inductive (I-D-I pedagogical approach, strengthened with physical model representation (PMR) was taken in a mechanics of materials course. The first inductive phase consisted of visualization and experimentation with a simple physical model. The second inductive phase consiste...
