We can distinguish whether students’ questions focus on deeper conceptualissues or on more surface procedural tasks. This distinction is relevant, as recent work suggeststhat conceptual questions are most helpful for improving understanding24.In this work-in-progress, we provide initial findings with respect to students’ capacity foraccurate monitoring in statics. Data are drawn from an ongoing study in which students wereasked to reflect and write about their problem-solving ability in an engineering statics course3.Specifically, they were asked to identify the source(s) of their
