This document presents an annotated listing of the research in science education that was reported during 1997. The listing includes educational research reported through doctoral dissertations and master's theses, journal articles, conference papers, electronic documents, and other items. A listing of institutions where the research was completed is given for dissertations and theses. For journal articles, a list of the journals searched and the number of articles found is included. The 1997 version of this annotated listing represents the first time an attempt has been made to capture a broader range of research listings by incorporating electronic documents available on the World Wide Web and by including articles from journals less familiar to science educators. Each entry in the listing has been assigned major and minor codes representing the topic of the research. An index characterizes the entries by major codes. (WRM)
