Abstract	The Oregon vision for transforming science education is called concept/process-based science. It is not a program but a conceptual framework which presents goals for the direction of science program development. It focuses science programs on helping students develop basic scientific understandings through the use of the key processes of human problem solving. Section 1 of this document, "Elementary Science Education," consists of two subsections: "The Vision for Concept/Process-Based Elementary Science" and "Promoting the Development of Thought." The latter deals with coordinating five basic sources or factors which provide stimulation and support for students' cognitive growth. These are: (1) experience with objects; (2) social interaction; (3) beginning capabilities in initial conceptions; (4) language; and (5) development--coordinating the factors. Section 2, "Changes In Elementary School Science," consists of the following subsections: (1) "Changes in Curriculum"; (2) "Changes in Learning"; (3) "Changes in Instruction"; and (4) "Changes in Evaluation." Section 3, "School Support," contains information on (1) changes concerning program materials, support, and time allocation, and (2) changes in staff development, which concern teachers' understanding and practices.
