Aims & Scope
The Physics Educator is an international peer-reviewed journal published quarterly by World Scientific and the Institute of Physics Singapore. The focus of the journal is the teaching and learning of physics and related topics at the secondary school, high school, junior college and the introductory undergraduate level. Articles related to the history and philosophy of physics as well as the design of the physics curriculum may also be submitted.
The aim of the journal is to enhance the teaching of physics in lecture rooms, classrooms and teaching laboratories through new approaches, insights and demonstrations, and to provide a lively forum for discussions on educational and curriculum developments, strategies for teaching and classroom management, pedagogy, equipment and other topics relevant to the teaching of physics. Book reviews relevant to the journal's aims may also be submitted.
