Foreword
This book is an initiative, recently promoted by GIREP by means of an agreement with Springer to contribute in physics education research and praxis with a series of publications. It contains selected contributions on the topic “Contemporary Science Education and Challenges in the Present Society: Perspectives in Physics Teaching and Learning.” By a peer review process involving 854 reviews carried out by 149 referees, we selected the papers published in this volume among 307 contributions we had already selected for the presentations in the Second World Conference on Physics Education (2nd WCPE). We have to thank Maurício Pietrocola for editing the book and leading the peer review process after the organization of the 2nd WCPE and Claudia Haagen Schuetzenhoefer for managing the editorial process for GIREP. GIREP is an international membership organization founded in 1966, open to academics, teachers, curriculum developers, and all other stakeholders with the concern to improve physics teaching and learning by means of physics education research (PER), innovative experimentation in physics teaching/learning, innovative materials and methods, suggestions for stakeholders, international cooperati
