13th Annual EGSS Conference – Theory and Practice a Symbiotic Relationship
http://egssconference2014.wordpress.com/2013/11/28/call-for-submissions/
Submission Guidelines
The relationship between theory and practice is a primary concern within the field of Education. Researchers are often criticized for being too far removed from authentic, everyday classroom experiences. In contrast, teachers may have little time to incorporate theory into their practice. Nevertheless, theory and practice reciprocally influence each other on multiple levels forming a symbiotic relationship that is in need of exploration. Dr. Vanderlinde suggests, “educational research has a twofold goal: the production of knowledge and the improvement of the educational practice” (Vanderlinde et al, 2010). The EGSS 2014 conference is a venue for all educational researchers and practitioners to share their ideas and contribute their understanding of the complexities of this relationship
Proposals:
We invite proposals that address and explore the complexities in the relationship between research and practice in education. We welcome proposals from students, researchers, and practitioners across Canada and internationally. We are interested in experiences from a diverse range of contexts including academic, classroom-based, social, political, and cultural community settings. Submissions and presentations may be in either English or French. We are offering awards for the best MA and PhD proposals as well as a travel award for students interested in coming to Montreal to present.
Individual Paper Session (includes papers with multiple authors)
This format is to present data from a finished paper, academic findings, or a work in progress. Each presenter will be allotted 15 minutes to give an overview of his or her findings, followed by 10 minutes for questions from the audience.
