What are they, those that discuss textbook materials rather than learning outcome in particular?

Are they only about general physics contents, not about anything beyond like continua?

If so, then maybe
these aren’t the journals you’re looking for.

Purely opinion here:
When I was a beginning Physics student (not as major field), I remember spending several minutes in a department lounge room, and picked up a physics journal and looked at a few articles, and tried to read one of them. I understood nothing in the article. Maybe a student needs to carefully and thoroughly study the courses in which he is enrolled first, and then look for articles from journals, maybe those which his advisor or professor recommends for him to try to read.
