Re: [Phys-l] PER Review Article?

Hi all-
I have read the "Summary &
Conclusions" of this 147 page essay. and it leavves me wondering how one defines "research" (is it "research" just because the author says s9?) and whether, and how, one evaluates the quality of the purported "research".
The popular name is "PER"l nut what is the substance?
Regards.
Jack

I highly recommend a review paper written by Jennifer Docktor and Jose Mestre about one year ago. It was written for a National Academy committee and can be found at http://www7.nationalacademies.org/bose/DBER_Docktor_October_Paper.pdf

Subject: [Phys-l] PER Review Article?

Would anyone care to suggest a recent review article (or even resource letter) on the current state, and especially, efficacy, of PER?

I have the famous resource letter from 1999, and am aware of "Reviews in PER" at per-central, among other things. I'm poking to see if there's anything important my google skills have missed.

Partial context: working to persuade our administration to support efforts to reform our introductory physics courses.

Thanks,
David Craig
