Physics education research encompasses diverse areas of study. More detailed information can be found at PER Central, a dedicated platform serving as both an information hub and online network for those involved in physics education research (PER).
At the University of Cincinnati, the PER initiative represents a collaborative partnership between the Physics Department and the School of Education. The group's activities center on implementing and assessing effective teaching methods and curricula in introductory physics courses, investigating how students develop scientific reasoning skills, evaluating these skills, and providing training for graduate teaching assistants. Core faculty members from the main campus lead the group, joined by Krista Wood (UC Blue Ash) and Darwin Church (UC Clermont) from UC's regional campuses. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the research, numerous faculty members from across UC and external collaborators frequently participate in various projects.
