About the Journal
Research in Physics Education (RiPE) is a scholarly publication dedicated to the exploration, advancement, and dissemination of knowledge related to the teaching and learning of physics at all educational levels. It serves as a crucial platform for educators, researchers, and practitioners to share innovative ideas, pedagogical approaches, empirical studies, and theoretical insights aimed at enhancing the quality of physics education worldwide. This journal aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas and research findings in the field of physics education. It covers a broad spectrum of topics including, but not limited to:
- Pedagogical approaches and strategies in physics teaching
- Curriculum development and assessment methodologies in physics education
- Innovative instructional materials and technologies for teaching physics
- Cognitive processes and learning theories relevant to physics education
- Teacher training, professional development, and classroom management in physics
- Cross-disciplinary approaches integrating physics with other fields of study
- Historical, philosophical, and socio-cultural perspectives on physics education
- Educational policies, reforms, and advocacy initiatives impacting physics education
- Addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion in physics classrooms and programs
- Research methodologies and empirical studies on physics learning outcomes and student engagement
The Research in Phyiscs Education (RiPE) is firmly established as an authoritative voice in the world of phyiscs education. RiPE publishes scholarly papers that focus on the teaching and learning of physics in school settings ranging from primary education to university education. It bridges the gap between research and practice, providing information, ideas and opinion. As a truly international journal, RiPE welcomes contributions from any country provided that the authors explain their local contexts and demonstrate the significance of their work for a global readership. RiPE is concerned with physics education but also welcomes manuscripts on the integration of physics education with other disciplines, in particular, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) or, and the arts. Submissions that are concerned with physics (as distinct with physics education) or with general educational matters will not be considered for publication.
