| Abstract: | This paper relates to a study commissioned by the Department of Employment, Education and Training to evaluate the impact
of the Discipline Review of Teacher Education in Mathematics and Science. The major datagathering strategies employed in that
study have been to visit every higher education institution in Australia involved in teacher education to interview relevant
staff and to seek information by mail from other bodies to whom recommendations of the Review were addressed. This paper reports
a supplementary activity, the analysis of citations of the Report of the Discipline Review in the journal of the Australasian
Science Education Research Association,Research in Science Education. This research reveals that there has been relatively little critical analysis of the Review, somewhat surprising in the
light of its significance for science teacher education. Further the citations in the journal suggest that the Review Report
has struck a responsive chord with those involved in the science education of primary school teachers. Its impact on secondary
teacher education would appear to be less significant. This difference is explored in the context of professional education.
