Abstract

In this Forum, we construct a history of the National Association for Research in Science Education (NARST) through the analysis of documents and through the personal perspectives of individuals. The history of NARST is inseparable from the biography of the individuals through whose lives it was produced and reproduced. The history of NARST is a living history that both shapes and was shaped by the biographies of its members.

I have often wonder if the presence of the word “Teaching” in the titles of NARST and JRST, rather than “Education” as in ASERA and RISE, inhibited the relative reluctance in the former to credit the importance of “learning” as distinct from “teaching” in our mutual search for improved science education.
