Abstract	Mandates for improvement in the quality of instruction at the precollege level require that improved continuing educational opportunities by made available to the teachers of all science subjects. Physical science courses, along with biology, make up the general science requirement used by most high school students to meet graduation requirements. Inservice programs should be provided for the teachers of physical science to help them keep up with the rapid changes that are made in their field. This project sought to field-test the pilot version of an instrument adapted from the questionnaire used in Weiss' 1985-86 National Survey of Science and Mathematics Education for use with the physical science teachers in Texas. Information was sought regarding the characteristics of Texas physical science teachers and their science education research interests. The preliminary results of this survey and a copy of the instrument are presented in this paper. (CW)
