Upcoming PER Events
The 2010 Gordon Research Conference on Physics Research and Education, the sixth in this series of conferences, will focus on the expanding and deepening role of and connection between experimental research and laboratories in physics instruction, with particular emphasis on undergraduate education. The purpose of this conference is to have a serious discussion about cutting-edge experimental research in physics and physics education and laboratories in physics education.
Join us for intellectual engagement with colleagues from a range of learning sciences-affiliated disciplines, keynote addresses from Dr. Carl Weiman, Dr. Koeno Gravemeijer and Dr. Pamela Grossman, walks along Lake Michigan, deep dish pizza, and jazz music as a part of the International Conference of the Learning Sciences, June 29-July 2, 2010!
Reviews in Physics Education Research
Over the past two decades, the PER community has developed a number of effective instructional strategies for calculus-based university physics classes.
This review article helps to bring a set of those results to the instructional community:
Peer Instruction: Engaging Students One-on-One, All At Once
by C. H. Crouch, J. Watkins, A. P. Fagen, and E. Mazur.
