In this PERC 1998 session, a representative from each physics education research group provided a report on their group's PER research and development activities. Collectively, the participants were able to construct an image of the total research and development landscape in physics education in the USA in 1998.

An introduction to and short history of each group, a transcript of their presentation in the PERC session,  and a list of Ph.D.s earned by their students by 1998 is provided for the following groups:
