Conference theme:
Enacting self-study as methodology for professional inquiry
The theme Enacting self-study as methodology for professional inquiry encourages delegates to reflect on how we research the interplay of scholarship and practice. This is an invitation to explore, value and celebrate the role that self-study research has had, and continues to have, in enhancing our understanding of teacher education practices in changing times and spaces.
Submitting the full paper for the conference monograph
All accepted proposals have now been passed through a double round blind review process and the full 4000 word papers have been returned to the author(s) for revision. Once revised according to the advice provided by the reviewers, it is very important that you follow these steps to submit your paper.
1. Prepare the paper as a word document using these guidelines:
Institution
E-mail
Paper title
2. Email the final draft directly to the programme chairs.
We do not use a professional company to typeset and prepare the final manuscript for printing. It is all done in the wee hours we can eek out of our daily routine. Therefore, we greatly appreciate the care and attention to detail authors can bring to the final submission that greatly speeds up the process. While we are tight on time, we will endeavour to provide all authors with a draft of the print version for final checking before the manuscript is send to the printers.
Please send the final draft by April 16th to Alan or Dawn
1. Prepare the paper as a word document using these guidelines:
- Format the paper in the following way:
- The maximum length of the paper is 4,000 words, including the references. So, yes, some of you will have to trim a few words off of your final version. Either you do it or we will cut out the last paragraph!
- All headings and subheadings should be lower case except for the first word. All should be flush left
- Single space all text
- Indent first line of a new paragraph, do not double space between paragraphs
- Use Times New Roman 12 point
- Follow APA 6th edition format for referencing, and make sure your references are complete and accurate. You can find help with APA here. Please note that the greatest burden for typesetting is created by people not referencing properly. We urge you to double check this step.
- Reverse any ANNONYMISING you did on the previous drafts. Change any citations to yourself in text with (eg, where you may have put Author/s, masked) and reinsert the authors’ names, change your pseudonyms and include your references to your own work if these were previously masked
- Include a cover sheet: (this provides key information for each author on the paper). The cover sheet should include:
Institution
Paper title
- Please do not use any of the following:
- Running heads
- Running footers
- Page numbering
- Footnotes or Endnotes created using specialized software
- Reference lists created using bibliographic software
- Ensure any graphics, including figures and tables, are of high quality and easily manipulated in word format. The book will be printed as a black and white document—no color graphics will be included. We will do our best to include any graphics included with submissions, but are dependent on the quality of the graphics submitted. Please include your permissions to use any graphics.
