CALL FOR PROPOSALS
DUE 15 August 2000
NARST Annual Meeting, St. Louis, Missouri, March 25-28, 2001
Guidelines and instructions for submission are available at

The Informal Learning Strand (Strand 9) of NARST focuses on science
learning and teaching in out-of-school contexts, such as science
centers, museums, zoos, aquaria, nature centers, parks, community
centers, and the home. The St. Louis conference is shaping up to be
an exciting meeting for Strand 9. In addition to the opportunity to
work with the numerous informal science education institutions in the
city, NARST 2001 will overlap with the National Science Teachers
Association conference - so topics relevant to informal learning and
science teaching are particularly encouraged.
The theme for the conference this year is Liberating Minds Through
Disciplined Inquiry; Liberating Inquiry Through Disciplined Minds.
Potential contributors are encouraged to consider how their papers or
sessions embody the theme and to make a special effort to address the
theme in their presentations and discussions. We would like the 2001
Annual Meeting to provide greater opportunities for interaction
between presenters and audience members. Thus, contributors are also
encouraged to utilize interactive formats in their sessions.
