Research into Student Learning:
Papers
These papers are organized chronologically by date. Note that most of the publications by Rand Harrington, Ed Prather, and other alumni of the Laboratory for Research Physics Education can be found at the old LRPE web site, located here. Publications by members of PERL from before their arrival in Maine are included here as well.
