PERC 2009

Jul 29, 2009 - Jul 30, 2009 in Ann Arbor, MI
PER Topical Group, AAPT event

The uniqueness of Physics Education Research (PER) partly resides in the diverse traditions and frameworks adopted to study learning. 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.

Teaching the Process of Science

Jul 14, 2009 - Jul 16, 2009 in Carleton College, Northfield, MN
Visionlearning and Pedagogy in Action Event event

This July 14 workshop at Carleton College will bring together faculty, teachers, and educational researchers to share exemplary classroom and laboratory activities, examine existing research on misconceptions, and explore strategies for integrating the nature and process of science into courses. Participants will also help to develop an online collection of materials related to the integration of process and content in the science classroom.

Foundations and Frontiers of Physics Education Research

Jun 15, 2009 - Jun 19, 2009 in Bar Harbor, MA

The third biennial conference on the Foundations and Frontiers of Physics Education Research will be held in 2009, in Bar Harbor, Maine. The conference is a venue for specialists who are active researchers in the field of physics education. This intensive week-long residential meeting will provide a forum for examining and articulating the current state of the field, exploring future directions, and discussing ways to pursue the most promising avenues for future research.
