For almost every university with a science education department, there are people researching science education. You can keep abreast of much of the information gained via this research by attending conferences and reading the journals. However, many departments maintain their own web pages, from which they distribute their results (e.g., the physics education group at the University of Washington). There are also sites that provide links to relevant research pages (e.g., the site at North Carolina State University). Some additional sites are listed after the Table of Contents below.
