The College of Education and Human Sciences is again sponsoring a Student Research Conference to be held on Saturday, November 14, 2009 at Teachers College Hall, UNL City Campus. All undergraduate and graduate CEHS students are invited to share their work with fellow students, faculty, and other educators and community members. The basic aim of the conference is to give students an opportunity to showcase their work and dialogue with colleagues about important issues in education.
Presentations should address some topic relevant to education. This is a research conference, but "research" is understood broadly. Students may present completed projects or work in progress. They might present a paper completed for a class, work undertaken for a master's summative project or dissertation proposal. No particular research approach is preferred. For example, inquiries may be empirical, historical, or philosophical. Papers may have a single author or multiple authors. We welcome presentations in different formats, for instance, panel discussions as well as formal papers. There will be time and space set-aside for poster sessions as well.
*Proposals must be typed and include a cover sheet. See the proposal cover sheet for further reference.
*Students should be aware that research with human subjects likely would need approval from the Institutional Review Board. Students are responsible for obtaining the necessary approval.
Proposals must be received no later than Oct. 27, 2009 (extended deadline). Proposals due to Sandy Pettigrew (spettigrew1@unl.edu). Authors will be notified of decisions about their submissions by Nov. 4, 2009.
