PER News
The Department of Physics at NC State University has hired eleven new faculty members over the last six years and continues to seek highly qualified applicants in all areas for tenure-track and tenured positions. We are especially interested to receive applications from candidates to fill open positions in the area of physics education research.
Hope College invites applications for a new tenure track assistant professorship in science education. This joint appointment will be with one of the Natural & Applied Sciences departments and the Education Department. We seek candidates with primary research and teaching interests in the teaching and learning of science and mathematics, a strong record of K-12 teaching, as well as a current working knowledge of instructional technology and state and national content/instructional standards in these areas.
Reviews in Physics Education Research
Over the past two decades, the PER community has not only learned a
great deal about how learning occurs in
calculus-based university physics classes, it has also developed a number
of effective instructional environments.
Here is an example of a review article that helps to bridge research and practice, bringing
the results of research and development projects to the instructional community:
Matter & Interactions
by R. Chabay and B. Sherwood.
Find more articles that help to bridge research and practice in Reviews in PER, Volume 1: Research-Based Reform of University Physics.
