Selection of all proposals will be refereed. There will be two refereeing phases: one in January, and one in March, the former to allow for colleagues requiring early decisions for funding purposes. The official language of this international conference is English. Proposals must be submitted in English to be considered.
Proposals may include individual and/or multiple authored papers, symposia, or poster presentations. Submissions should indicate clearly which author or authors will actually take part in the presentations if accepted. we are inviting four types of proposals:
• Individual paper proposals. Accepted proposals will be assigned to multiple paper sessions. Three to four papers will be assigned to each multiple paper session. Usually, there will be 15-20 minutes to present each paper. The session presentations and discussions between the presenters and the audience will be facilitated by a moderator.
• Symposium proposals. Symposia are intended to be interactive sessions that allow for more in-depth examination of a specific topic or experience (research findings, policy issue, school improvement initiative, research methods). A symposium may be organized as a set of presentations or panel discussion that examine a specific problem or topic from a variety of perspectives, allowing time for discussion among presenters and with the audience. Symposium proposals can also take the form of a workshop in which the organizers engage the audience in activities as well as presentation and discussion related to the symposium topic.
• Poster proposals. Poster sessions combine the visual display of illustrative materials with the opportunity for individualized informal discussion of the research or school improvement experience between the presenter and interested conference participants who visit the poster site.
• Roundtable sessions. In contrast to paper sessions, in which the presenters should at least present a finished study or should have analyzed and interpreted their data, roundtables open up the opportunity to discuss outcomes as well as the design of a research project or research in progress. The purpose of a roundtable is to have an in-depth discussion on one or two central issues of your research.
