Upcoming PER Conferences

PERC 2009 - Ann Arbor, MI

Physics Education Research across Paradigms

The uniqueness of Physics Education Research (PER) partly resides in the diverse traditions and frameworks adopted to study learning: cognitive constructs, social and cultural dynamics and increasingly neural processes. Join us July 29-30 in Ann Arbor, MI to discuss "Physics Education Research across Paradigms" as we identify the characteristic properties of various research frameworks and the kinds of questions each can answer. By looking at the different frameworks used to study learning and the interplay between them, we hope to build bridges between the frameworks used in PER and our wider community.
