学生对物理问题解决的态度和方法会深刻影响他们的学习动机和专业知识的发展。我们开发和验证了解决问题的态度和方法的调查，扩大了马克思和卡明斯解决问题的态度调查，并管理它的物理研究生。比较他们对自己的研究生课程中解决问题的调查问题的回答与在入门物理课程中解决问题的回答，可以深入了解他们在入门和研究生水平物理方面的专业知识。物理学研究生对调查问题的回答也与物理学和天文学入门学生和物理系教师的回答进行了比较。我们发现，即使是在物理导论中的问题解决，研究生对一些调查问题的回答也不如物理系的专家。比较研究生和入门学生在物理导论中解决问题的调查结果表明，研究生的回答一般比入门学生更像专家。然而，调查结果表明，研究生水平的问题解决的研究生在几个措施有显着相似的趋势，介绍性的学生解决问题的介绍。
Students' attitudes and approaches to problem solving in physics can profoundly influence their motivation to learn and development of expertise. We developed and validated an Attitudes and Approaches to Problem Solving survey by expanding the Attitudes towards Problem Solving survey of Marx and Cummings and administered it to physics graduate students. Comparison of their responses to the survey questions about problem solving in their own graduate level courses vs. problem solving in the introductory physics courses provides insight into their expertise in introductory and graduate level physics. The physics graduate students' responses to the survey questions were also compared with those of introductory physics and astronomy students and physics faculty. We find that, even for problem solving in introductory physics, graduate students' responses to some survey questions are less expert-like than those of the physics faculty. Comparison of survey responses of graduate students and introductory students for problem solving in introductory physics suggests that graduate students' responses are in general more expert-like than those of introductory students. However, survey responses suggest that graduate-level problem solving by graduate students on several measures has remarkably similar trends to introductory-level problem solving by introductory students.
