Two major sections, one dealing with the practitioner's perspective and the other addressing research and evaluation, comprise these proceedings of the 1980 Conference of the National Association for Environmental Education (NAEE). Section I contains 10 essays which describe programs, approaches, and issues of interest to the environmental education community. The 22 papers which make up Section II present analyses of significant environmental education research problems; many are based upon original studies. Also included is NAEE President A. Clay Schoenfeld's inaugural address entitled "Earth Day '70, '80, '90." (WB)
