Description
Education Research is about answering questions like, How do students learn? Which factors influence this learning? Students' conceptual understanding and misconceptions? How to design teaching instructions and assessment strategies? It draws from various fields, like cognitive science, sociology and psychology and has evolved as our understanding in each of these fields evolved.
Physics Education Research is a subfield that focuses on students' misconceptions, problem solving, designing theory-lab instructions and assessment, and integration of technology in physics classrooms. And Science Communication that helps us connect physics to society.
In the talk I will give an overview of this field, with few examples and also discuss the career prospect.
The speaker Dr. Asmita Redij, has worked previously for the India-based Neutrino Observatory and later for the T2K experiment at Japan. She received her PhD from the University of Bern.
