Physics Education

Aims & Scope

Physics Education seeks to serve the physics teaching community and we welcome contributions from teachers.

We seek to support the teaching of physics to students aged 11 up to introductory undergraduate level.

We aim to provide professional development and support for teachers of physics around the world by providing: a forum for practising teachers to make an active contribution to the physics teaching community; knowledge updates in physics, educational research and relevant wider curriculum developments; and strategies for teaching and classroom management that will engage and motivate students.
