The Physics Education Research Group at Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ (PER@C) is one of largest research programs in physics education research (PER) in the nation. Our research group develops and studies: uses of technology in physics education, assessments (conceptual, epistemological, and belief-oriented), theoretical models of students' learning physics, social and contextual foundations of student learning, examination of successful educational reforms and replication studies of such reforms, and student problem solving in physics. We sponsor a number of educational reforms in physics, which range from pre-college to post-doctoral. The research group includes faculty, staff, and students from both the Department of Physics and the School of Education.

On this site, you will be able to find information for prospective graduate students in PER, a description of our research, information on our group members, our publications, a description of the physics education reforms being implemented here at Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ, links to teaching resources,Ìýand more.
