However, they do not offer any study of these types of problems or provideevidence regarding their effectiveness. Antonenko et al [10] also identify context-rich problems(which they term “multi-faceted problems”) as a middle ground between typical homework-styleproblems and real-world challenges. They use specialized software to track how students tacklesuch problems to try and understand how students develop more expert-like problem solvingstrategies.
