THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR
RESEARCH IN SCIENCE TEACHING
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR RESEARCH IN SCIENCE TEACHING (NARST)was founded for the purpose of promoting research in science educationat all educational levels, and for disseminating the findings of thisresearch in such ways as to improve science teaching. NARST is incor-porated as a non-profit corporation in the state of Minnesota. Theofficial quarterly publication of the Association is the JOURNAL OFRESEARCH IN SCIENCE TEACHING. The major areas of concern are experi-mental and analytical research studies (theoretical or applied) encom-passing curriculum development and organization, evaluation, learningtheory, teacher education, programs for the talented and underachiev-ers, and methods of instruction in sciences. Surveys of currentpractices, enrollment, and course offerings represent other interests.
NARST meets concurrently with the American Education Research Associ-ation one year, and on days just previous to the National ScienceTeachers Association meetings the next year. At these meetings re-search papers in the areas listed above are presented along with sym-posia, on topics of interest to teachers and educational researchworkers.
NARST cooperates with the ERIC Science, Mathematics, and EnvironmentalEducation Information Analysis Center (SMEAC) located at the OhioState University to conduct and publish reviews of research in sci-ence education at the elementary, secondary and college levels and tocompile and publish the abstracts of papers presented at the annualmeeting. The current NARST Research Coordinator is Associate Direc-tor for Science Education at the Center.
The constitution of NARST specifies that membership shall be drawnfrom those active in research in science education and those outstand-ing in science educational leadership such as teachers, supervisorsand curriculum developers. Patron membership is available to indi-viduals and organizations who would like to contribute more than thebasic dues to support the work of our organization.
The Association maintains a Placement Information Service which, eachyear, provides lists of positions available and of personnel seekingemployment. Prospective employees and employers are urged to usethese lists to arrange contacts and interview. Placement informationis made available by mail early in each calendar year and at theannual meeting. Applications for membership, payment of dues, andcorrespondence related to the business operations of NARST should bemailed to the Secretary-Treasurer.

NARST PROGRAM STRUCTURE
This listing of program format and the following definitions are offeredto clarify the structure of this program. In addition, all members areinvited to make specific suggestions for modification of format or inclu-sion of topics in future meetings. Letters to the officers, in partic-ular the president-elect, are always a welcomed means of communicatingsuggestions.
I. GENERAL SESSIONS - Researchers of national prominence are asked toaddress the NARST membership concerning topics and issues of general con-cern. Such analyses of where we have been and where we are going arefeatures of the annual meeting each year. The presentations will bepublished in JRST. The expenses for the speakers are provided by ERIC/SMEAC.
2. CONTRIBUTED PAPERS - Many individual members are anxious to shareresults of their individual research efforts with other members. Aseries of concurrent sessions where such Contributed Papers can be sched-uled represent a major part of the NARST meetings. Generally such papersare restricted to a fifteen-to-twenty minute presentation which includesaudience questioning as well.
3. PAPER SETS - Several related studies originating from a commonresearch center or line of research can be structured as a set of fromthree to six separate but related reports. Such a grouping of paperoften allows for common elements of design or approach to be presentedonce instead of several times. A Paper Set grouping can also allow fora division of a single report which represents a major research develop-ment in terms of time, number of workers, and/or geography.
4. SYMPOSIA - Areas of current research or research needs are identifiedand papers prepared addressing defined issues. Symposia include personswith varying backgrounds, positions, and research interests. In additionto presentations concerning research in a given area, interaction amongthe symposium presentors, other discussants, and the audience is antici-pated. Varying views, approaches, data reports, and data interpretationare desired features for Symposia.
5. PANELS - There are many debatable issues in science education. Panelsare frequently constituted as a result of positions taken by members.Such Panels provide a mechanism for debating issues and involving inter-ested members in such discussions of views.

6. INFORMAL DISCUSSION - Time is scheduled in the program for membersto meet with one another concerning topics of interest. One importantfunction of such sessions is the opportunity for members interested innew positions to confer with faculty members from institutions withstaff vacancies.
7. TRAINING SESSIONS - Members may choose one of four two-hour train-ing sessions which have been scheduled concurrently. They are devotedto topics of basic importance for conducting disciplined inquiry ofparticular types.
MECHANISM FOR PLANNING NARST PROGRAMS
According to the NARST By-Laws, the Program Committee is a StandingCommittee consisting of the Research Coordinator, the President-Elect(as chairman of the Committee), and four members (each with rotatingtwo-year terms). This Program Committee is charged with planning theprogram format for the Annual Meeting. This planning includes prepar-ing the Call for Papers, evaluating the contributions suggested by themembers for all program elements, and preparing the program copy fordistribution to members.
The Call for Papers is included in a Newsletter (and, at the option ofthe Secretary-Treasurer, a special mailing) to all members. The callfor Papers includes a questionnaire which serves as a cover sheet formultiple copies of a summary of the contributed paper or other programfeature. Such copies are not to include names of the investigator orother means of identification. These copies of the summaries are num-ber-coded with the cover sheets being filed until after all programplanning and summary evaluation has occurred.
Members of the Program Committee read and rate each paper submittedfor possible use on the program. Following this independent rating,the Committee meets as a group. The separate ratings are summarizedand any disagreement among the Committee members making the ratingsare then discussed thoroughly. All papers are eventually recommendedfor inclusion in the program structure or rejected. Sometimes thefinal decision regarding borderline situations is made based upon theprogram structure (i.e., number of papers within a particular classi-fication, total number of concurrent sessions planned, needed balancein terms of topics). The names of contributors remain unknown to allpersons making ratings until all decisions are made. This "blind"evaluation of papers, panels, and symposia is an important feature instructuring the NARST Annual Meeting.
