Investigating our Practices creates a nurturing environment where one can try out a ‘public voice’ for formulating ideas around pedagogy and to further develop the skills of conference presenting.
The nature of this conference is to investigate our practices and to exchange innovative ways of looking at pedagogy with others. This conference serves as a rich and fertile environment for undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty and K-12 teachers in the field within a supportive atmosphere.
Themes
- The preparation of practitioners
- The ongoing education of practitioners
- The focus on classroom practice
- The context of practice (e.g., social, political and cultural analysis of practice)
- Researching practice (e.g., teacher inquiry/action research)
Panel Presentation
Presenters are grouped within a collective theme or question presenting a range of perspectives. These brief presentations act as a catalyst for further dialogue with other participants attending the conference session.
Individual or group session
We want challenging, relevant, interactive presentations that showcase how you have been investigating some dimension of teaching practice. Session time should be divided equally between provoking discussion by providing access to your understandings and providing opportunity for others to discuss your conclusions.
Exhibitions
The exhibition format is ideal for a visual presentation of research results, a program of research or research activities of a group.
Possible Questions
- What is the practice that you are investigating?
- What are the questions concerning this practice that you addressed in your investigation?
- How did you investigate this practice?
- What did you learn about this practice from your investigation?
