Physics Education Research (PER) represents the most voluminous, the oldest, and the most rigorous tradition in whole science education research. On the other hand, with its 1380 research article pages, this is the most voluminous book reporting research studies of PER. Thanks to hundreds of its contributors, this book represents the state-of-the-art of PER as of 2012. This book was produced as a result of first World Conference on Physics Education (WCPE) that was held in Istanbul, Turkey during July 1-6, 2012.
Teachers, educators, and researchers, from all continents and 55 countries have attended the WCPE 2012. During the 6 days of the conference there were 249 oral presentations, 27 workshops, 12 symposia, and around 100 poster presentations together with 5 keynote addresses.
On behalf of all participants I wish to thank the sponsors: IUPAP, ICPE, EPS, TÜBİTAK, GIREP, MPTL, Rentech, Vernier, APS, IOP for their support. We are also grateful to AAPT, AsPEN, and LaPEN for their endorsements of the conference. Like all other PER enthusiasts, I am also looking forward to the second WCPE which is decided to take place in São Paulo, Brazil in 2016 and wish that such a proceedings book tradition continues.
