Title information

The International Handbook of Physics Education Research: Special Topics covers the topics of equity and
inclusion; history and philosophy of physics; textbooks; mathematics; research history, methodologies, and themes.
As the field of physics education research grows, it is increasingly difficult for newcomers to gain an appreciation of the
major findings across all sub-domains, discern global themes, and recognize gaps in the literature. The International
Handbook of Physics Education Research: Special Topics incorporates the understanding of both physics and
education concepts and provides an extensive review of the literature in a wide range of important topics.

The International Handbook of Physics Education Research: Special Topics includes:

  • The history and philosophy of physics teaching, including a review of physics textbooks.
  • Teaching mathematics for physics students.
  • Methodologies in physics education research and the future of physics departments.

Readers will find this comprehensive treatment of the literature useful in understanding physics education
research and extending to all the physical sciences including chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, and other
related disciplines.
