Teaching of Science to Elementary School Students

Fifty-five papers were presented and 118 people registered for the seminar.
The proceedings of this conference were published, with the papers grouped
according to primary emphasis: theoretical and philosophical perspectives (8
papers), instructional issues (9 papers), research and methodological issues
(12 papers), historical and epistemological perspectives (5 papers), elementary
school science (2 papers), physics (11 papers), biology (6 papers), chemistry
(1 paper), and mathematics (5 papers). A second international seminar is scheduled
for the summer of 1987, also at Cornell.
