• - PER at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Our website provides perspectives on pedagogy, educational research results, applications to teaching, and curriculum materials.
  
• - An interdisciplinary research organization devoted to the study of learning and instruction in the sciences and mathematics. Researchers perform cognitive research and apply it to the development of curricula to teach science and mathematics concepts and
  
• - Develops curricula, activities, and computer tools which allow students to participate actively in their own learning and to construct scientific knowledge for themselves. Using these materials the students learn directly from the physical world.
  
• - The Modeling Method has been developed to correct many weaknesses of the traditional lecture-demonstration method, including the fragmentation of knowledge, student passivity, and the persistence of naive beliefs about the physical world.
  
• - Talks, papers and favorite quotes and links of Ohio State Professor Dave Van Domelen.
  
• - Investigates the ability of students to interpret kinematics graphs, and generates a set of suggestions for faculty teaching the subject.
  
• - Kansas State University has one of the oldest active physics education research programs in the US.  The Physics Education Group investigates how students learn and understand physics and develops ways to improve the learning and teaching of physics. Pr
