Abstract	Abstractor's analyses of 12 science education research studies are presented. Nine analyses in the first section, focusing on various aspects of science instruction, include: a comparison of different approaches to helping students understand metric units of volume; use of specific questions to cue elementary school students in obtaining information from graphical materials; a meta-analysis of research results on instruction; effects of participation in an inservice program on earth science teachers' attitudes/creativity; use of two different teaching strategies in an earth science course for elementary education majors to determine if contrasting teaching environments would influence students' concept of science instruction; examination of whether teachers who advocated use of living organisms to teach science practiced what they espoused; and an analysis of geology teaching assistant reaction to a training program utilizing video-taped teaching episodes. Three analyses of research on testing are presented in the next section. Research analyzed focused on the reliability/content validity of the Science Curriculum Improvement Study (SCIS) Organism Unit test, comparison of multiple choice/essay tests, and development of an instrument to measure understanding of science. An analysis of a paper on inservice teachers' needs and the author's response to the analysis are provided in the final section. (JN)
