>Dear ASTE Colleagues,
>
>This is to let you know about an exciting venture that has started
>for science education. It is a new journal called Cultural Studies
>of Science Education (CSSE). Kenneth Tobin and Wolff-Michael Roth
>are co-editors and they have just finished up Volume 2. CSSE is
>published by Springer and is quite different from existing science
>education journals in that CSSE places an emphasis on sociocultural
>theories to explicate problems in science education.
>
>It is also different in the format it takes, by having each article
>followed by an interactive forum. CSSE has four issues a year for a
>total of 1,000 pages of journal space. Each published article has an
>associated forum, allowing for approximately 250 pages for each
>issue. Thus, articles are longer than normal and focus on the
>development of ideas and theories.
>
>One of the ideas we are currently working on is a BLOG that focuses
>on one article selected from each issue of CSSE. The featured
>articles are available free along with the Forum article that is
>associated with it. These Feature Focus articles are then
>highlighted through the BLOG discussion. BLOGs will stay active for
>12 months and then will be archivedhence, once we reach equilibrium
>there will be four sets of BLOGs available at any time.
>
>I am writing you this message as the new BLOG Editor. I encourage
>you to check us out and see if you have an interest in being
>involved and perhaps bringing it to the attention of your colleagues
>and graduate students. I hope you will consider getting involved in
>the BLOG and do not hesitate to consider the journal and the BLOG as
>an outlet for your publications and for your students to use as a
>resource.
>
>Please find attached an announcement that provides more details
>about how to access the Feature Focus articles and how to contribute
>to the BLOG discussions.
>
>If you have any queries, do not hesitate to direct them my way or to
>Ken and Michael.
>
>Sincerely,
>
