Preface

            The editors are pleased to present the proceedings of the 2002 Annual International Conference of the Association for the Education of Teachers in Science, held in Charlotte, North Carolina, January 10-13, 2002. This is the seventh in the set of proceedings of AETS annual conferences. Over 70 papers and summaries of presentations from the conference are included. They are ordered by the corresponding conference session and then by the first authorÕs last name. The conference program also is included for reference.

            The papers and presentation summaries submitted for inclusion in the proceedings were reviewed by one of the four editors. They were not heavily edited and were not refereed, so they serve as a record of papers and presentation summaries from the 2002 AETS annual meeting.

           These proceedings are disseminated via the ERIC Clearinghouse for Science, Mathematics and Environmental Education in microfiche form (with hard copy available through ERIC) and on the AETS World Wide Web Site at URL http://www.TheAETS.org. Given ERIC documents and web materials are not copyrighted, papers and presentation summaries included in these proceedings may be submitted for publications in journals such as the Journal of Science Teacher Education and Science Education. For information on how to secure a microfiche or hard copy of these proceedings through ERIC, see your campus or local library, WWW URL http://edrs.com/, or phone 800-433-ERIC. Also, the papers and presentation summaries included in these proceedings may be downloaded directly from the AETS WWW site as RTF (Rich Text Format) files.

           We are very pleased to have had the opportunity to edit the seventh in the set of AETS annual conference proceedings.
