Fostering Learning Improvements in Physics (FLIP): A status report

The Fostering Learning Improvements in Physics project is examining the international status of subject-based educational research in physics and the potential for work in this field to impact the teaching and learning of undergraduate physics in UK universities. While focused specifically on physics, outcomes of the project may be relevant to subject-based educational research and to teaching and learning within the physical sciences more generally. We report on the aims, approaches and current status at the mid-point of this one-year study.
