Teaching and physics education research: bridging the gap
Harvard University
Physics faculty, experts in evidence-based research, often rely on anecdotal experience to guide their teaching practices. Adoption of research-based instructional strategies is surprisingly low, despite the large body of physics education research (PER) and strong dissemination effort of PER researchers and innovators. Eric Mazur is a physicist and educator at Harvard University, and an entrepreneur in technology start-ups for the educational and military markets. Mazur's research is in experimental ultrafast optics and condensed matter physics.
