| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between a student's stated preference for solving a problem and his/her actual problem solving methodology. Approximately 116 science students between the ages of 15 and 22 were given an 18 item abstract preference survey. Each student was interviewed and given the opportunity to solve three different tasks: (1) fossil identification; (2) a balance problem; and (3) an electrical circuit problem. Results included the following: (1) considering all tasks, there was a similarity in performances of males and females; (2) on tasks involving the fossil and electrical circuit, the shift of preference was from a concrete mode to an abstract mode; (3) on the balance task, the shift of preference was from abstract to concrete; (4) college students were less likely to shift preferences; and (5) students' preferences for solving a hypothetical model may quickly change when the problem is real.
