Pedagogic literature for physics
A key component of building your case for Associate Fellowship is demonstrating that you have an understanding of relevant scholarly literature. Literature, for our purposes, refers to both the scholarship of teaching and learning and physics-specific literature.
The sources listed here are not exhaustive. You are expected to do appropriate reading to support what you end up writing about in your case.
Sources will be added to this list as appropriate. If, however, you find a particularly good resource let us know and we'll add it.
