Title information

The International Handbook of Physics Education Research: Teaching Physics covers the topics of educational technologies, learning environments, teacher education, and assessment in relation to physics education. 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 current volume incorporates the understanding of both physics and education concepts and provides an extensive review the literature in a wide range of important topics.

The International Handbook of Physics Education Research: Teaching Physics includes:

  • Various teaching perspectives including active learning, the modeling method, and teaching environments.
  • Distance/online education, formative and summative assessment, and assessment in online education.
  • Gender, race, and ethnicity equity.

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.
