  abstract =     "Reduction is a problem-solving strategy, relevant to
                 various areas of computer science, and strongly
                 connected to abstraction: a reductive solution
                 necessitates establishing a connection among problems
                 that may seem totally disconnected at first sight, and
                 abstracts the solution to the reduced-to problem by
                 encapsulating it as a black box. The study described in
                 this article continues a previous, qualitative study
                 that examined the ways undergraduate computer science
                 students perceive, experience, and use reduction as a
                 problem-solving strategy. The current study examines
                 the same issue, but in the context of a larger
                 population, using also quantitative analysis, and
                 focusing on algorithmic problems. The findings indicate
                 difficulties students have with the abstract
                 characteristics of reduction and with acknowledging
                 reduction as a general problem-solving strategy.",
