Guidelines for Writing an Abstract

Proposals for contributions are welcome from all fields of educational research. Participants are invited to hand in up to two abstracts for papers, posters, workshops, round tables and symposia. All proposals must be submitted electronically via www.conftool.com/ecer2010

The submission should contain a maximum of 500 - 850 words + references and needs to be composed along the following themes:

• Title of proposal 
• Authors(s) of proposal including affiliations and email addresses 
• First and second choice network 
• some networks will ask for identifying sub-themes
• 3 - 5 keywords
• General description on research questions, objectives and theoretical framework (up to 500 words)
• Methods/methodology (up to 150 words) 
• Expected Outcomes/results (up to 200 words) 
• Intent of publication 
• References (300 words) 

It is not possible to include tables or graphs in the submission form.

Please note that you will be asked to select a first and second choice network to which your proposal will be submitted. Choose wisely- in the occasion that your submission needs to be redirected, it will only be redirected to the second choice network!

You need to indicate all contributing authors along with their affiliations and email addresses, and to specify who will be presenting. Fill in this information carefully; mis-spellings and missing email addresses may mean that co-authors are not correctly linked to all their contributions.  

The Submission form for Round Tables and Symposia will ask for additional information: You need to nominate a Chairperson for your Round Table and a Chairperson + Discussant for a Symposium. You will also be asked to hand in short abstracts (200 Words) of all papers within your symposium.

The Philosophy of Education Network has an andditional format - Long Papers.  For this, authors are requested to upload a 2000 Word (max) paper in addition to filling in the online submission form.
