About the Physics Education Research Conference Proceedings
General Information
The Physics Education Research Conference Proceedings (PERC Proceedings) is a written record of the scholarly work presented at the annual Physics Education Research Conference (PERC). Contributed papers undergo peer review to ensure high standards of quality.
The PERC Proceedings are sponsored by the Physics Education Research Topical Group (PERTG) and the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT). The PERC Proceedings cover the full range of experimental and theoretical research on the teaching and/or learning of physics. The editors welcome submission not only of significant or final results, but also of preliminary research results and discussions of works in progress.
