Physics Education Research & Development Group

Physics Education Research (PER) is a dynamic field, with many opportunities for growth and additional study. What was once being done in just one or two physics departments is now a vital part of scores of high schools, colleges, and universities world-wide. Basically, PER is concerned with increasing our understanding of how students learn physics. PER-based development tries to design instructional environments and curricular materials that take advantage of advances being made in our knowledge of physics students and how they grapple with the concepts of physics.
