The Sydney University Physics Education Research
(SUPER) Group was founded in 1992 to undertake physics education research
(PER)
in the School of Physics.
We are a group of physicists with
common interests in the issues of teaching and student learning, offering
staff and students high-quality teaching and learning opportunities and
researching the complex ways in which people go about
understanding physics.
SUPER has an extensive and expanding research
program and are always
looking for new ideas, students and collaborations.

Derek Muller is currently writing up his PhD thesis for submission in September. He has recently had papers accepted at Instructional Science and the Journal of Computer Assisted Learning. He is also co-directing an ASISTM project, developing multimedia resources for high school physics topics.
¨
Christine Lindstrom has completed her Honours with flying colours, winning the best physics thesis prize and a university medal! Now she is working on her PhD on 3-D concept maps for
learning first year physics. Her Map Meetings have been running all semester long with Regular and Fundamentals students. Evaluation is underway with
pre- and post- testing, correlation and predictive statistics, and
qualitative techniques.
