[Hake (2011)]. The abstract reads:
*************************************************
ABSTRACT: Phys-L's David Craig wrote (paraphrasing) "Any suggestions
for recent review articles on the current state and efficacy of
Physics Education Research (PER)." Both Phys-L's Dean Zollman and
PhysLrnR's Jennifer Docktor recommended "A Synthesis of
Discipline-Based Education Research in Physics" [Dockter & Mestre
(2011)] at <http://bit.ly/fOQWrc>. In addition Docktor pointed to:
(1) Karen Cummings' (2011) review "A Developmental History of Physics
Education Research" at <http://bit.ly/u9nwaS>.
(2) Papers other than by Docktor & Mestre and Cummings, but also
written at the request of the National Academies' Board On Science
Education http://bit.ly/w40Qgd, meeting of 2 October, for EDUCATION
RESEARCH IN CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND GEOSCIENCE at
