The University of Maryland Physics Education Research Group is a combined effort of the Physics Department and School of Education to study the learning and teaching of physics at all levels from elementary school to the graduate level.
Our program focuses includes both qualitative and quantitative research and relies heavily on video data of authentic classroom and learning environments.
Graduate degrees may be earned in physics or in education.
