Presented are abstracts and abstractors' analyses of nine studies related to curriculum and instruction. These studies focused on: (1) the status of environmental education in Kansas; (2) attitudes of Israeli students toward two versions of a curriculum titled Agriculture as Environmental Science; (3) interrelationships among teacher intentions, curriculum materials, teaching methodology, and potential outcomes through a qualitative analysis of a teaching episode in biology; (4) the effect of different amounts of structure in instruction on student performance; (5) a review of investigations using the Learning Environment Inventory (LEI) to assess classroom climate; (6) student cognitive level as a predictor of success in high school chemistry; (7) concerns of junior high school teachers who were implementing an Intermediate Science Curriculum Study (ISCS); (8) a self-paced instructional mode for basic chemistry and physics and its effects of college student achievement and attitudes; and (9) student beliefs about heat phenomena.
