ISME Research Pre-Conference Seminar 2020 - Call for Papers |
|
THE CALL FOR PAPERS NOW OPEN
The purpose of the 34th ISME World Conference 2020 is to foster global understanding and cooperation among the world's music educators, by strengthening ties and sharing ideas about different aspects and issues within music education, in ways that promote music education for people of all ages throughout the world. Given the current global reality, the conference theme Visions of Equity and Diversity is a timely reminder of music’s power to unite our humanity while respecting our differences. The conference theme encourages opportunities for dialogue and international collaborations that are thought-provoking and innovative, and that place equity and diversity at the heart of music education scholarship and practices world-wide.
The ISME Research Commission has sought to:-
a) examine through research, important issues facing music education worldwide;
b) develop, refine and demonstrate a range of research approaches, methods and techniques for critically examining issues in music education;
c) provide a forum for communication, critical analysis, and dissemination of research innovations in music education;
d) deepen and develop the research knowledge base for practitioners, policy makers, and researchers in music education; and
e) bring together early career and experienced researchers from a broad geographic representation, in order to build research capacity and to promote research expertise in all regions of the ISME membership.
In Jyväskylä, we will share research presentations and discussions in an effort to deepen and develop research knowledge base in music education and enhance understanding and visions of equity and diversity.

Full paper
For the Research Commission Pre-Conference Seminar, full papers must be submitted. Abstract-only submissions will not be considered for this category.
To be considered for presentation at the 28th Research Commission Seminar and publication in the Research Seminar Proceedings, submissions must be complete papers and cannot exceed 3,000 words, including explanatory notes and appendices, but excluding abstract and references. The paper should report recently completed research that contributes to the theory or practice of music education. No more than a total of two (2) tables and/or figures may be included. These papers must include an Abstract (no more than 400 words) for publication with the paper and follow APA style. All Full Paper submissions must also conform to the Guidelines for Authors provided on the submission website. All papers will be fully (double-blind) refereed, and those chosen for inclusion in the seminar will be published in the Pre-Conference Seminar Proceedings.
Presenters will be allocated 30 minutes consisting of no more than 15 minutes for the presentation and 15-20 minutes or less for questions and discussion. Accepted papers will be distributed to presenters for reading prior to the seminar. Therefore, presenters are strongly encouraged not to simply read their paper, but rather structure the 15-minutes in a way that speaks to it and engenders an interactive discussion afterwards. Invited authors of full papers who attend will receive support for the Seminar but travel expenses will not be covered. Authors of accepted papers wishing to submit a revised version of their paper for possible publication elsewhere, after the Research Commission Seminar, will need to indicate in the paper, that in part it was previously published in the 28th Research Seminar Proceedings.

Posters
Full-paper submissions that are not accepted for presentation as spoken papers at the Seminar may be eligible and will be considered for presentation as Posters at the seminar meeting. This is not to be confused with the poster presentation at the main ISME conference mentioned above. Additionally, submissions for poster presentations at the Seminar will be accepted. Abstracts of no more than 400 words should be submitted for Poster consideration. Authors of accepted Posters will be allocated 5 minutes and may use ONE presentation slide for a spoken presentation. Authors are invited to bring with them a Poster to display during the Seminar. Poster specifications (size, format, etc.) will be provided upon acceptance. Titles of the Poster will appear in the Seminar Program and the Abstracts will be printed in the Commission Proceedings. Posters will be grouped into sessions that have designated time slots during the Seminar. Invited authors of posters will be responsible for all expenses. Suggested discounted rate accommodations will be provided.
Multiple submissions policy
The Research Commission only accepts one submission per senior author. Presenters at the International Research Seminar are invited to present their paper as a Poster at the World Conference in Helsinki. Because Seminar presentations will be reviewed by the Research Commission for inclusion in the Seminar, presenters will not go through review again by the World Conference committee, but will be taken on recommendation of the Commission Co-Chairs for the Poster Session.
PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT THE SAME PROPOSAL FOR A COMMISSION AND THE WORLD CONFERENCE.
