The first World Conference on Physics Education to be held in Istanbul 1-6 July 2012. The conference theme is
The Role of Context, Culture, and Representations in Physics Teaching and Learning
Several colleagues who are preparing special contributions involving more participants asked for a little more time to submit proposals. We have decided to set the final deadline for submissions to Tuesday MARCH 20, 2012. Meanwhile the reviews of the proposals will start and feedback will be given in next weeks.
The conference was initiated by Groupe International de Recherche sur l'Enseignement de la Physique (GIREP) and the International Commission on Physics Education (ICPE). It is being sponsored by GIREP, ICPE and the Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning (MPTL) group and endorsed by American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), Latin American Physics Education Network (LAPEN) and the Asian Physics Education Network (AsPEN).
The vision for 2012 World Conference on Physics Education is to follow a global participative process before, during and after the conference. The Conference will be structured to help foster collaborations on physics education research and development which can transcend national boundaries. The goal will be reached through working sessions which will develop actions plans that strengthen the teaching and learning of physics at all levels and in many countries.
