[Phys-l] World Conference on Physics Education - deadline extended



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.
