The papers in this volume were presented at the Faculty of Education Connections 98 Conference in May 1998. This conference has been held annually since 1995. Its purpose is to provide a forum for faculty and graduate students to share and discuss their research. The papers that follow provide a cross section of these presentations and are arranged alphabetically by author.
Topics are diverse in both content and structure.
We think they represent the tremendous variety of research activities within the Faculty of Education. The Connections Conference has a collaborative and collegial tone. In this spirit, these papers are offered for participants of Connections 98 and other interested readers. Thanks are extended to all members of the organizing committee and presenters who offered their papers for publication.
