Eilish McLoughlin has co-edited the third handbook of “Connecting Research in Physics Education with Teacher Education” with Jenaro Guisasola from the University of the Basque Country, San Sebastian, Spain. This handbook has been commissioned and published by the International Commission on Physics Education (ICPE), which was established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics in 1960 to promote the exchange of information and views among the members of the international scientific community in Physics Education. The first handbook, published in 1997 was edited by A. Tiberghien, E. L. Jossem and J.Barojas and the second, published in 2008 was edited by M. Vicentini and E. Sassi. The purpose of this series of handbooks, “Connecting Research in Physics Education with Teacher Education”, is to provide a structured, documented and critical review of extant Physics Education Research (PER) and serve as an important platform for discussion and debate on appropriate strategies and innovations in physics education. Handbook 3 reflects the fact that the Physics Education globally is currently in a process of development and change, as evidenced by contributions at different International Forums and Conferences and includes 14-chapter contributions from international researchers in physics education.
