Abstract	The two science education digests for 1985 contained reports of research related to science curriculum and instruction. This information bulletin has been designed to continue making suggestions for improving education, more specifically education in science classrooms. It focuses on: (1) findings from science education studies (including "Project Synthesis"); (2) findings from reports dealing with excellence in education (such as "A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform"); (3) findings from science education research studies; (4) why there is an impetus for change in science education; (5) information from Canadian science educators, considering steps involved in "deliberative inquiry," seven curricular emphases in science, and issues related to incorporating a science and technology focus into science curricula; and (6) who decides curriculum questions. One generalization offered is that persons interested in improving science education have some positive findings from the meta-analysis research data upon which to build in terms of instructional strategies that lead to increased student learning and other positive outcomes. In addition, science for general education should not be neglected since science instruction should be geared toward both the citizen and the future scientist. Thirty-five references are also included. (JN)
