Mainstream math and physics teaching/education journals

In summary, the conversation discusses journals that focus on discussing textbook materials rather than specific learning outcomes. The American Journal of Physics and The Physics Teacher are two such journals that primarily cover general physics content. The European Journal of Physics and Physics Education also cover similar topics. However, it is suggested that these journals may not be suitable for those seeking more advanced or specific information, and that it may be more beneficial for students to thoroughly study their courses before attempting to read articles from these journals.

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

i think contents about continua are not enough compared with introductory physics
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.
