Fifteen Graduate Students Present at AERA 2016
LSU well-represented at largest gathering of scholars in the field of education.
04/22/16
Fifteen graduate students from LSU’s School of Education gave more than twenty presentations at the American Educational Research Association (AERA) 2016 Annual Meeting, which was hosted in Washington D.C. from April 8-12.
The AERA Annual Meeting is the largest gathering of scholars in the field of education research. It is a premier showcase for ground-breaking and innovative studies in a diverse array of scholarly inquiry -- from early education to higher education and from digital learning to second language literacy. This year, over 15,000 educational scholars from around the world attended the conference. As one of the biggest educational research conferences, the proposal acceptance rate for AERA is only 30-40%.
LSU graduate students did a superb job in preparing successful paper submission in the summer of 2015 and more recently presenting their inspired work across various domains of education at AERA this year. The number of LSU graduate students presenting is but one indicator of the exceptional scholarly accomplishments of the School of Education.
The great success is primarily due to the students’ scholarly dedication and hard work, but also the ongoing support from the School of Education faculty. For example, a series of conference proposal writing workshops were hosted by the Curriculum Theory Graduate Student Collaborative and Curriculum Theory Project in the summer of 2015. Focused on preparing successful proposals, these sessions prepared students to write several excellent proposals. Resultantly, many of proposals were accepted to this conference. CTP co-directors Dr. Petra Hendry and Dr. Roland Mitchell, as well as the other CTP faculty offered great support in helping the students navigate the submission landscape across different AERA Divisions of inquiry and Special Interest Groups (SIGs), as well as provided specific feedback on the continual proposal revisions.
The School of Education offers a range of professional and academic degree programs that focus on preparing students for careers in education, research, policy formation and implementation, as well as program oversight.
