Coordinating Multiple Representations in Mechanics: A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Prospective Physics Teachers

This exploratory case study investigates the multiple representational skills of prospective physics teachers in solving mechanics problems within a specific institutional context. The study employed a mixed-method approach to obtain both quantitative and qualitative insights into students’ representational skills. The participants were 17 second-semester students enrolled in a Physics Education program at a public university in Langsa City, Indonesia, representing a bounded institutional case.
