Physics education research

Physics education research focuses on answering the question what are the most effective ways to teach, learn, and increase engagement in physics? The research process investigates different models in these areas - traditional blackboard instruction; question-driven clicker instruction; technology and hands-on tutorial instruction, all with their associated learning models; the process also investigates social engagement within physics and how to improve it. Some of the best places to do this research are CU and the University of Washington. Find some of the latest research here.
