Please see the information below for "Call for Paper" guidelines. The deadline for submitting proposal is September 30, 2002 TYPES OF PROPOSALS Paper Proposals: Papers are reports of completed research and will be published in the conference proceedings. There are three categories for papers: a) empirical research, b) model or theory development, and c) theorizing from the literature. ß Submit ONE COPY of a typed cover sheet which includes the paper title, the name, address, phone and fax numbers, and email address of EACH author, AND a signed warrant statement*. ß Submit FIVE COPIES of a typed two-page abstract, not to exceed 1,200 words, which must include - at the top of the first page - the paper title and a statement as to whether the research is complete or the anticipated date of completion (which must be PRIOR to proceedings submission date). Any paper proposal extending beyond the two pages will be excluded. Symposium Proposals: A symposium presents diverse or conflicting perspectives on a compelling topic or issue that is or should be of concern to adult education practitioners. ß Submit ONE COPY of a typed cover sheet which includes the paper title, the name, address, phone and fax numbers, and email address of EACH author, AND a signed warrant statement*. ß Submit FIVE COPIES of one page abstract, not to exceed 600 words. An additional half-page abstract (maximum 300 words) from each presenter should provide details to the symposium abstract. Submit five copies of all abstracts with the symposium title at the top of the first page. FORMATTING AND SUBMITTING PROPOSALS Allow 1" (2.5 cm) margins and use at least 10 pt type. It is appropriate to provide citations in the text, although given space limitations, it is not necessary to include a reference. Please, no author names or institutional affiliations in the abstracts. Only one proposal per author may be submitted for review. All proposals must be received by September 30, 2002. Neither faxed nor E-mailed proposals will be accepted. All proposals should be mailed or delivered to: SESSION FORMAT AND SELECTION CRITERIA Papers: The time allotted for each session is 50 minutes. Audience participation, as a principle of adult education, is stressed. Identify your paper as a) empirical, b) theory development, or c) theorizing from the literature. Abstracts should be typed as noted in the above instructions. Empirical papers should adequately describe: ß Purpose of the study. What does the study contribute? ß Perspective or theoretical framework including relevant literature. ß Research design (including rationale for choice of methodology, research, questions, modes of data collection, and means of analysis). ß Findings and conclusions. ß Implications for adult education theory and practice. Model or theory development papers should address: ß What practical or theoretical void will this model or theory fill with respect to adult education? ß What are your bases for proposing this model or theory (experience, literature, your own empirical research, etc.)? ß What are the elements of the model or theory and relationships among its elements? ß What is its relationship to existing theory? Theorizing from the literature can be either explorations based on literature (reviews and/or critiques) or applications from one field to another that give us new insights about adult education. The following should be addressed in the abstract: ß What is the purpose of this exploration or application? ß What fields of study, disciplinary perspectives, or bodies of literature are being analyzed? ß What are the implications for the development of adult education theory and practice? If your paper is selected for presentation, you will be responsible for submitting a formally written six-page (single-spaced, typed) paper for inclusion in the conference proceedings and must be received by March 3, 2003. Papers received after this date will NOT be included in the conference or proceedings. Authors whose papers are accepted will be notified of the specifications for preparing and submitting papers. SYMPOSIA A symposium is intended to provide an opportunity for examination of specific problems or topics from multiple perspectives. This purpose is best served when individuals with diverse or conflicting views interact on a topic of sufficient scope and importance. A symposium should NOT merely be a presentation of a related set of papers. Each symposium will last 90 minutes. Audience participation is encouraged. It is the responsibility of organizers of symposia to identify topics and presenters. Organizers must have the consent of all participants before submitting the proposal. Organizers not wishing to chair the session must designate a chair person. Should unforeseen circumstances prevent a participant from attending, it is the responsibility of the organizer to find a suitable replacement; and, notify the AERC proposal receiver, all other participants and discussants involved in the session to enable them to have prior access to abstracts of each presentation, to allow them to formulate their remarks in the context of what the others plan to say. Organizers are urged to encourage such an exchange of information. Only the organizer will be notified of the acceptance of a symposium, and is responsible for notifying other participants. Symposia should address the following: ß What is the controversial issue or topic being addressed? Why should adult educators care about this matter? ß What are the competing perspectives (including related bodies of literature) from which this issue will be addressed? ß On what basis does each panelist hold his/her perspective (experience, literature, one's own empirical research)? ß What action plan or policy implications are likely to emerge from this examination? If the symposium proposal is selected, the organizer is responsible for submitting a formally written eight-page (single-spaced, typed) paper for inclusion in the conference proceedings. Such papers must be received by March 3 2003, or the symposium will not be included in the conference *Warrant Statement for All Proposals I [we} warrant that if my [our] paper [or symposium] proposal is accepted, I [we} will submit a formally written summary for inclusion in the conference proceedings.
