Cell Biology Education has published the manuscript entitled Probabilities and Predictions: Modeling the Development of Scientific Problem Solving Skills in their Spring 2005 issue. This article documents the research of IMMEX data generated by molecular genetics students at UC Irvine over two years. The development of probabilistic models of undergraduate student problem solving in molecular genetics are shown, and the spectrum of strategies students use when problem solving, and how their strategic approaches evolve with experience are detailed.
