Abstract
This paper presents the theoretical and practical developments of research in physics education carried out at UNIBZ, which focuses mainly on primary physical science education. Our research is characterized by a move toward integrating the discipline and its didactics with the humanities to properly consider the human component of education. Both qualitative and quantitative outcomes, especially relating to prospective teachers’ education, will be presented. Moreover, the main national and international projects that have been completed or are still active at UNIBZ will be briefly outlined.
