The Physics Education 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó Group at Colorado (PER@C) is one of largest research programs in physics education research (PER) in the nation. Our research group develops and studies: uses of technology in physics education, assessments (conceptual, epistemological, and belief-oriented), theoretical 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó of students' learning physics, social and contextual foundations of student learning, examination of successful educational reforms and replication studies of such reforms, and student problem solving in physics. We sponsor a number of educational reforms in physics, which range from pre-college to post-doctoral. The research group includes faculty, staff, and students from both the Department of Physics and the School of Education.

Featured Project: PISEC
The JILA Physics Frontier Center Partnerships for Informal Science Education in the Community(PISEC) Program provides opportunities for university students (undergraduates, graduate students, and post docs) to teach inquiry-based science activities to K-12 populations that are underrepresented in science.
At PISEC, we conduct cutting-edge research on informal science environments as part of the Physics Education 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó group at CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó, PER@C. We study the impact of our program on children and also university students.
