In addition to their basic skills and background, their epistemic framing can form an important part of their ability to learn physics from these problems. Encouraging students to move toward productive framing is necessary for quality instruction. Thus, an instructor must understand the specifics of how student have framed a problem and understand how her interaction with the students will impact that framing. In this study we investigate epistemic framing of students in problem solving situations where math is applied to physics. To analyze the frames and changes in frames, we develop and use a two-axis framework involving conceptual and algorithmic physics and math. We examine student and instructor framing and the interactions of these frames over a range of problems in an electromagnetic fields course.
