Call for Research Papers
Submission Deadline Date – 9 December 2020
PPTA Ed ’21 provides an opportunity for teacher researchers and academics to share their research. Here is a unique opportunity to connect research to the people who will be able to use it to benefit student learning.
The conference is aimed at our members but is open to all and will focus on current educational issues, rather than industrial, and is an opportunity for our members to look in depth at issues in education, with input from leading educators and specialists from NZ and abroad. We expect up to a total of 250 teachers, academics and other people from the education sector to attend the conference.
The theme of PPTA Ed ’21 is “Advancing the dream of public education”.
If you have research that you would like to present, we invite you to submit an abstract.
Session Format
The research sessions are 25 minutes long - ideally a 15 minute presentation, 10 minutes for Q+A, and then repeated for a new audience.
