Undergraduate Research in Science/Physics Education

AI Thread Summary
A physics undergraduate student is seeking additional undergraduate research opportunities in education research, particularly NSF-funded REUs. They have already explored NSF's list and prominent programs like Harvard's GSE and Berkeley's Education Graduate Program without success. Kansas State's physics REU offers education research as a project option, which was noted as a potential lead. The student is encouraged to check for resources within their own physics department, including old journals and departmental postings. Assistance in identifying further programs or directions is requested.

I am a physics undergraduate student and have a passion for education research. I have spoken to some professors I know that work in that field and have some possible undergraduate research opportunities lined up, but I was wondering if anybody knew of any other undergraduate research opportunities, possibly some REU that is NSF funded. I looked through NSF's list of funded REUs, but didn't find anything in the education field. I also looked into some of the more prominent programs like Harvard's GSE and Berkeley's Education Graduate Program, but to no avail. If anybody knows of a program I should look into, or could maybe point me in a direction to look, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much for your help.

I know at my school a lot of that information could be found in old physics journals lying around..Try walking through the physics department and seeing what they have lying around and hanging on walls.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
