27 - 31 July 2020
University of Jyvaskyla, Finland
University of Jyvaskyla, Finland
CALL FOR PAPERS WILL OPEN IN SEPTEMBER 2019 and REGISTRATION in EARLY 2020
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.
Like the ISME World Conference theme reflects, the 28th ISME Research Commission places equity and diversity at the heart of music education research in order to foster evidence-based practices world-wide. At each of our biennial seminars, the 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.

Welcome
The Research Commission Seminar is the first and longest standing ISME Commission. As described before, some of its values and unique contributions is to foster research throughout the world seeking an international representation of manuscripts at all levels of scholarly development. It is full residential with all participants required to be present for all discussions and sessions through the week. The seminar facilitates an environment where all scholars can refine and improve their studies with many in depth discussions about methodology and analyses. All papers are distributed prior to the seminar and extensive discussions at the seminar center around the research questions, methodological approaches, data analyses and how the researchers reached their final conclusions, with the goal of strengthening research in music education.
