The AEJMC Standing Committee on Teaching, in conjunction with J&MC Educator, is sponsoring a special paper call for the 2013 AEJMC Conference in Washington, DC, on research related to teaching. Different topics are welcome, ranging from papers aimed at improving the teaching of a specific course to “big picture” papers intended to address pedagogical philosophy. Any methodological procedures are welcome. Papers may address disseminating research results and knowledge on learning and teaching; encouraging efforts to improve instruction through development of innovative materials and techniques; sound instructional designs; improved evaluation methodologies; and enhancing the status of teaching in the university and beyond.

Criteria:

• Papers must include original research.
• Papers must follow standard guidelines for AEJMC submission of research papers. Reflections on a personal teaching experience or descriptions of teaching techniques will not be accepted.
• Authors must be available to present their papers at AEJMC during a special panel if their papers win first-, second- or third-place in the competition.

Winning papers will be submitted for review to J&MC Educator, and also will receive a cash prize: first: $250, second: $150, third: $100. Honorable mentions may also be awarded, but no cash will be provided. Winners will also present their papers at AEJMC’s Washington Conference.

SUBMIT PAPERS VIA ALL ACADEMIC ^[1] (where AEJMC 2013 conference papers will be uploaded). Deadline for papers is April 1, 2013. Please follow the AEJMC guidelines from the general call for papers ^[2]. For more information, email Linda Aldoory ^[3].
