a refinement of strategiesthat experienced physics teachers have been teaching for decades and because it is optimized forthe types of problems traditionally found in physics textbooks. The prescriptions aim to steerstudents away from common novice approaches such as identifying the unknown and searchingfor an equation that contains it, or pattern matching based on superficial aspects of the physicalscenario.12, 15 Although details differ, the prescriptions generally consist of steps like these: 1. Using diagrams as needed, visualize and make sense of the physical situation conceptually/qualitatively. 2. Explicitly identity the relevant physics principles. 3.

(Engeström), Daiute [48],[49] recognizes the social, dynamic nature of narratives to inform data collection and analysismethods. According to these theories, it is important to consider the interdependence inherent inthe broader context of experience and narration. This perspective aligns with this research as oursurvey reinforced the complexity of individual experiences of lifelong learning.In narrative research, the researcher needs to make plausible interpretations within the bounds ofthe narrative(s) because they capture complex experiences that are not aligned with hypothesistesting paradigms [50]. To bring forward meaningful evidence in interview approaches involvinghomogenous groups, 12 participants are typically sufficient for thematic
individual(s) involved in thematic analysis toengage in a phase of reflexivity [26] after the data have been classified. Reflexivity involvesquestioning the assumptions made during coding of the data to identify potential biases in thecoding and ultimately in the conclusions drawn from the data. Potential reflexivity bias isexplored in the Limitations section of this manuscript.In this study, thematic analysis was initially applied to identify broad themes in the data. Afterinitial patterns in the data were identified, one or more of these broad (primary) themes wereassigned to each student response. Once the dataset was broken down into this primary set ofthemes, responses within each theme were re-examined to determine whether secondary themeswere
