... are causing researchers to question long-held traditions concerning not only how we teach, but also what—and who—we teach. In short, no aspect of the experience of students and their teachers is off limits, and we increasingly acknowledge the complex interplay between disciplinary culture, teaching...

... insights into long-studied issues, and cross-pollination with other fields is opening up new avenues of inquiry. Critical reflections on the discipline of physics itself are causing researchers to question long-held traditions concerning not only how we teach, but also what—and who—we teach. In short...

Paula carefully considered my invitation to co-edit The International Handbook of Physics Education Research...

... symbolic and conceptual systems, held to be autonomous and context-free, allowing only unique solutions (correct or incorrect) and no alternatives. “Logico-scientific” thinking is primarily impersonal and convergent, while the first is personal and divergent (see, Hadzigeorgiou and Schulz, 2019 ). TPT...

... and identify misconceptions of geometrical optical phenomena held by preservice physics teachers (PSPTs). Cronbach alpha coefficients were calculated to establish the reliability of the test scores and exploratory factor analysis supported the instrument's validity. Six misconceptions about geometrical optics...

... β (isothermal compressibility) and κ (thermal expansion coefficient). The relationship (∂β/∂P)_T + (∂κ/∂T)_P = 0 proved challenging for the students. In particular, many students misunderstood the role of terms held constant...

... Recherche sur l'Enseignement de la Physique (GIREP) was founded. As its name implies, this organization was devoted to research in physics education. The first GIREP conference was held in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1967. Early conferences tended to focus on secondary school physics teaching but quickly...

... to everyday knowledge as well as expert knowledge), the research on epistemic beliefs in general does not probe the basing relation “The epistemic basing relation is the relation which holds between a reason and belief if and only if the reason is a reason for which the belief is held. It is generally thought...

... during Pandemic Covid 19. But skills are acquired through practice, and the more one practices, the better the skills become ( Sanchez, 2022 ). In summary, preschool and primary school teachers should have training in “proper” physics, held by experts in content and methodology of teaching, since...

... on the creation and propagation of pulses revealed several student ideas. However, only a few emerged as being widely held in different contexts and settings ( Wittmann, 2002 ; and Goodhew et al., 2019 ). Different researchers used different frameworks to describe the resources. It is difficult to map...

..., ignoring one's inherited social privilege. The meritocratic belief held by institutional actors has implications for who is considered a physicist, who is given the opportunity to be a physicist, and who will participate in shaping future research activities. For example, the meritocratic value...

... found that many students held a view that was material rather than geometrical: some students treated field lines as passive tubes that charges had to follow, others as something that actively takes charges from one place to another. Some students thought of field lines as the cause of electric forces...

... in teaching and learning. Deep understanding is best gauged by a learner's ability to appropriately extend ideas into new areas, with correct judgment of which principles should be held fast and which need to be adjusted in different contexts. Such responses illustrate the strength of the belief...

... the important role pre-service teacher education plays as a foundation for further development. In a similar vein, Kariotoglou et al. (2009) were interested to understand the conceptions held by pre-service elementary teachers about the distant force interactions. They found that pre-service teachers...

.... However, co-teachers’ instant feedback and students’ journal writing could guide and examine the students’ concept maps to facilitate their cognitive learning. Subramaniam et al. (2019) identified the scientifically accepted conceptions and misconceptions about buoyancy held by 55 preservice...
