>The eighth annual Contemporary Approaches to Research in Mathematics,
>Science, Health and Environmental Education symposium will be held on on 27
>- 28 November 2000 at the Melbourne Campus of Deakin University.
>
>The closing date for expressions of interest for presentations is Friday 29
>September 2000. Please phone Heather Rose on (03) 9244 6369 or email
>[log in to unmask] if you would like more details or a copy of the
>symposium brochure.
>
>The symposium will focus on both practical and theoretical aspects of a
>range of research methodologies. It follows the highly successful symposia
>held over the past six years, in which issues such as data handling,
>interview techniques and action research models were discussed in a lively,
>informal setting.
>
>It is expected that academic researchers and post graduate research
>students will gain from the symposium. The emphasis will be on the
>methodologies employed for conducting research.
>
>Presentations at the symposium will be organised into four sessions
>designed to promote focussed discussion of methodological issues related to
>mathematics, science, health and environmental education. In previous
>years, sessions have focussed on research related to areas such as probing
>understanding of learners, representing what happens in the
>classroom, case study approaches,teachers and teaching,
>methodological aspects such as qualitative data analysis with and
>without computers, and ethical issues.Each session will consist of a
>number of brief presentations, followed by an opportunity for
>extended discussion.
>
>There will again be two keynote addresses this year exploring different
>methodological issues - the first will be given by A/Professor David Clarke
>and the second by Dr Russell Tytler.
>
>People wishing to make a brief research presentation of 10 to 15 minutes
>duration should complete the Expression of Interest: Presentations
>form and return it, together with a 100 word abstract, by Friday 29 September.
>Email expressions of interest are welcome, provided all the information is
>supplied as requested. Presentations should briefly outline the research
>question being addressed, the methodology being used, and the findings or
>likely outcomes of the research. Presentations should focus mainly
>on the research methodology. Reports on work in progress are
>welcome.
>
>Presenters will be asked to provide 40 copies of a short written paper (3 - 5
>pages) for distribution at the symposium. An electronic version should also
>be provided for inclusion in the edited conference proceedings.
>
>Details regarding the format for papers will be provided when the program
>is finalised in mid October.
