NABT Biology Education Research Symposium

We welcome all life sciences education researchers from elementary to graduate levels, in formal and informal settings.

12th Annual Biology Education Research Symposium 

2020 NABT Professional Development Conference 
When: November 5-8, 2020    
Where: Baltimore Marriott Waterfront, Baltimore, Maryland

You are invited to submit a proposal to present your research in biology education at the 2020 Professional Development Conference. This is a refereed session. All papers will go through double-blind review using the 2020 Rubric. Reviews will be guided by the following criteria:

• Subject/Problem: Is there a clear focus, rationale, model, theory, or philosophy upon which the proposal is based?
• Design or Procedure: Are the methodology, procedure, design, and organization appropriate?
• Analyses and Findings: Do the syntheses of ideas or data analyses and findings appear to be appropriate and complete? Do the conclusions drawn follow from the data?
• Contribution: Do the conclusions contribute valuable insights into the teaching/learning of biology?
• General Interest: Does the presentation promise to be of general interest to NABT members?

The format will be a traditional presentation for papers by individual or co-authors lasting 15 minutes each with an additional five - ten minutes for questions.

The proposal submission deadline is midnight on July 13, 2020.

Blind review will take place in July with final selection by mid-August. All presenters are required to register for the conference and provide an electronic manuscript for distribution through the Proceedings.

The Annual Biology Education Research Symposium is coordinated by the NABT Four-Year College & University Section’s Biology Education Research Committee.
