Hi Keith and colleagues,

I hope our review is of help to people, it was written for a specific
purpose - to inform the Ministry of Education's policy group. But it
has much of the NZ work referenced in it. The chapter on the Learning
in Science projects is adapted from a book on the 20 years of
research in science education at Waikato which I am working on at the
moment - it should be published next year sometime,

kind regards
Beverley
