MISTEC 2020 - Call for Papers |
|
THE SUBMISSION SYSTEM WILL OPEN IN SEPTEMBER 2019
Aim
The mission of the Music in Schools and Teacher Education Commission (MISTEC) is to promote the development of research and innovations in theory and practice in the fields of music teaching in schools and teacher education. The Commission serves to support, develop and maintain international collaboration, coalitions and strategic alliances and exchange of pedagogical resources, innovative teaching approaches and experiences among professionals and institutions from around the world. The aim of the MISTEC Pre-Conference seminar is to engage participants, presenters, and commissioners in enriching dialogues and in hands-on experiences related to school music teaching and learning and to music teacher education by exploring current best practices and research.
As part of the inclusive, boutique-style Pre-Conference seminar that MISTEC is renowned for, we provide support for accommodation and food for presenters of spoken papers and workshops, and not posters. Accordingly, full attendance and participation in the pre-conference seminar is expected of all presenters. This facilitates a ‘shared purpose and understanding’, that enables the Commission to have a sustainable and ongoing impact beyond the conference period. Additionally, in 2020, to encourage presentation from areas where funding is not available for travel, we will have 3 travel awards available (to the value of US$1,200 each) to accepted paper and workshop presenters. Those wishing to be considered for the travel awards must indicate as such in their submission. See Section 1.1; Spoken Paper Requirements and 2.1; Workshop Requirements below*
The 2020 Music In Schools and Teacher Education Commission (MISTEC) Seminar encourages submissions focused around the theme of Broadening Access To And Engagement With Music Education. This theme supports the main ISME conference theme of Visions of Equity and Diversity. Accepted workshop and paper presentations from around the world will highlight ways to extend current theoretical and educational thinking, together with exchanging innovative practical approaches for music education and teacher education. The collaboration fostered through this intimate, dialogic seminar enables the shared development of educational policies and practices geared towards ensuring quality music education for all children.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURES
The online submission system must be used for MISTEC Commission Pre-Conference Seminar. This system will be available to ISME members through the ISME conference website which will link with the members’ website to check membership. Every presenter or co-presenter must be an individual ISME member at the time of submission, at the time of acceptance and at the time of presenting.(If electronic submission is impossible, please contact the ISME International Office by September 30, 2019.)

1. SPOKEN PAPERS
Paper presenters will be allocated 20 minutes to present their papers. Afterwards the participants will be divided into groups and 30 minutes will be allocated to group discussions and 10 minutes for reporting their discussion. These discussions will be guided by three questions, prepared and shared in advance by the presenter.
Presenters are encouraged NOT TO READ their papers, but rather to give a spoken summary of the paper highlights and to provide additional discussion points not presented in the paper.
1.1 Requirements:
- The paper should report recently completed research or pedagogical projects that contribute to the theory and practice of music teaching and learning or issues related to university teacher preparation programs.
- The paper must be submitted in English. Noted above
- The paper must be complete and cannot exceed 3000 words, including tables, figures, explanatory notes and appendices within the file, and excluding abstract and references. Tables and figures are encouraged to help readability and flow.
- The order of content on the file should be as follows:
- Title of the proposal.
- Author names (and affiliations) Ensure that identifying names are not included in the full proposal or document properties.
- Abstract (up to 400 words).
- Five keywords.
- Full paper (up to 3,000 words)
- Acknowledgements (if any)
- References.
- *Application for MISTEC Travel Award (available to those who do not have financial support for travel from their country). This should be a 100-word explanation regarding why an award is sought. Selection for the travel awards will be made according to
- Opportunity to enhance participation from under-represented regions of the world.
- Quality of proposed presentation (as determined by criteria for selecting/rating proposals).
- Evidence that support is required (as determined by 100-word statement by applicant).
Please note that papers submitted for the MISTEC Seminar should not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication. Papers should contain original data that have not previously been published, presented, or submitted for presentation at any other conferences or symposia.
2. DEMONSTRATIONS/WORKSHOPS
The demonstration/workshop presentation should highlight innovative music pedagogical practice that contributes to the advancement of music teaching and learning or issues related to university teacher preparation programs. These sessions are qualitatively different from Spoken Paper presentations, in that there is no formal paper presentation.
The proposal must be complete and cannot exceed 1000 words, including a detailed order for the demonstration/workshop content and how the presenter will actively engage seminar participants in the demonstration/workshop. The following information must be provided in the proposal:
2.1 Requirements:
- Title of demonstration/workshop being proposed
- Author names and affiliations
- Abstract (up to 400 words)
- Five keywords
- Proposal (up to 1000 words). Ensure that identifying names are not included in the full proposal, and document properties.
- Statement of the workshop goals (i.e. why is this demonstration/workshop necessary? What will participants learn from this demonstration/workshop?),
- Detailed order for the demonstration/workshop content.
- Statement for how the presenter will actively engage the seminar participants
- *Application for MISTEC Travel Award (available to those who do not have financial support for travel from their country). This should be a 100-word explanation regarding why an award is sought. Selection for the travel awards will be made according to
- Opportunity to enhance participation from under-represented regions of the world.
- Quality of proposed presentation (as determined by criteria for selecting/rating proposals).
- Evidence that support is required (as determined by 100-word statement by applicant).
For demonstrations of software or other equipment, authors will be responsible for ensuring that the necessary equipment is available. Submissions must therefore include a full description of the equipment and facilities needed. Proposals and workshops/demonstrations will normally be presented in English.
3. POSTERS
Abstracts for Poster submissions must follow the same rules given for Spoken Papers, above. Authors of accepted Posters are invited to bring with them a poster to display during the MISTEC Seminar. Poster specifications (size, format, etc.) will be provided upon acceptance. Titles for posters will appear in the MISTEC Seminar program. Poster presenters will have the opportunity to submit their poster abstract for publication in the Conference Proceedings.
Prior to the Poster Session, all poster presenters will present a 3-5 minute oral summary of their work to the MISTEC gathering, in addition to the time allotted for poster viewing.
3.1 Requirements:
- Title of poster
- Author names and affiliations. Ensure that identifying names are not included in the abstract, and document properties.
- 400 word poster abstract
- Five keywords
Multiple submissions policy
The Commission only accepts one submission per author. Presenters of Spoken Papers and Workshops at the Pre-conference Seminar are invited to present their work as a Poster at the World Conference in Helsinki. Because Seminar presentations will be reviewed by the Commission for inclusion in the MISTEC Pre-Conference Seminar, presenters will not go through review again by the World Conference committee, but will be taken on the recommendation of the Commission Chair for the Poster Session.
PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT THE SAME PROPOSAL FOR A PRE-CONFERENCE COMMISSION SEMINAR AND THE WORLD CONFERENCE.
