Call for Proposals
The Center for Instructional Innovation at Georgia State University is sponsoring an interdisciplinary GTAconference focusing on both pedagogical and professional development topics. All past, current, and future GTAs across the University System of Georgia are encouraged to attend and to present a paper, poster, symposium, or panel discussion.
The conference provides an opportunity to share pedagogical ideas, and to gain conference experience while enhancing your vita. In years past, GTAs have shared best teaching practices and attended sessions on topics ranging from syllabus development to instructional strategies and assessment in the college classroom.
The conference will be held Friday, April 19, 2013 from 9:30 am to 4:00 am in the Student Center at Georgia State University with a catered lunch and a guest speaker. We will be running concurrent sessions throughout the day with a break for a lunch. Faculty and Guest are welcomed to attend.
If you are interested in presenting, proposals should be submitted in MS Word format via email to cii@gsu.edu with GTA Pedagogy Conference in the subject line. Deadline for submitting a proposal: March 1, 2013. All proposals will be reviewed and presenters will be notified by March 15, 2013.
The deadline to register to attend is March 15, 2013. However, registration will close when we have 200 registrants.
Possible topics may include (but are not limited to):
• Strategies for Assessing Student Learning
• Innovative Pedagogical Approaches
• Teaching for Individual Differences
• Implementing and Integrating Technology Effectively
• Designing Effective Instruction
• Creating Domain Specific Pedagogy (English, Chemistry, History, Education, Foreign Languages, ESL/TESL, etc.)
• Publishing Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
• Service Learning/Teaching and Community-based Pedagogy
Papers. Papers are 20-minute individual oral presentations. Individual papers will be combined into paper sessions of 2 or 3 papers. Papers can present empirical research if the research is too complicated to present in a poster. In addition, papers can present conceptual, theoretical, historical, philosophical, or methodological issues. The presenting author of one of the papers in the session will be assigned to serve as chair of the session by introducing all the papers in that session.
Posters. Posters are visual displays of empirical research. Poster presentations will be grouped and presented during one of four, one-hour sessions. The presenters will stay with their posters during the session while attendees view posters and ask questions of the presenters. The poster should include title and author(s), an introduction or background information, a brief method section, results, and discussion. You will need to bring your poster mounted on a tri-fold display board that will stand on a table. If there are not enough posters to constitute a poster session you will be asked to present your research in a paper session.
Panels. Panel discussions include 3 or 4 speakers responding to a question or issue with time included for interaction among the speakers and the audience. A panel discussion is organized by a chairperson who is the session’s moderator and is scheduled for 50 minutes with 3 panelists or 80 minutes with4 panelists.
