PER (Physics Education Research)

Physics Education Research (PER) studies how people learn and teach physics effectively. It combines insights from physics, education, psychology, and other fields to understand students' thinking, misconceptions, and learning difficulties. PER aims to identify best teaching practices, develop new instructional methods, and improve student understanding of physics concepts. Its goal is to make physics learning more effective and accessible, often through evidence-based techniques like active learning and interactive engagement. Ultimately, PER helps educators design lessons that better support students in mastering complex physics topics.
