| Directions To Submit for Oral Presentation 
Contributions in all areas of Education are invited. Proposals are to be submitted online, from the link posted further down this page. Submission through other channels will not be considered. Proposals will be received until October 30, 2011 - Extended to 11 November. (Note: Late submissions are accepted. However, late submitters will not be allowed to submit their full paper(s) for inclusion in the Proceedings: they may only present their accepted contribution(s) orally in sessions. To proceed with, please click here. Results to be posted on this website on 15 February 2012.)  Click to download the list of the contributions accepted on 19 January 2012. If you have received an acceptance email and your contribution is not in the list, please contact the secretariat to request that this be fixed. Number of Proposals and Co-authors The admitted number of proposals is limited to three per participant. The number of co-authors per contribution is limited to seven. Multi-presenters should be aware that their possible scheduling needs might not be fully accommodated. Content of a Proposal The submission/reviewing process is based on abstracts. No full paper is required. A proposal comprises two parts. Part 1 lists the contributors’ details. Up to seven co-authors may be mentioned. For each of them, the courtesy title, first and family names, job title, institution, country, email addresses, telephone and mobile phone international numbers are required. Please provide as many email addresses as possible so as to minimise the risk of email loss. Part 2 informs on the contribution: requested session format (see possible formats below); session language (English only, French only, or Ability to interact in both languages); orientation of the contribution (practice or research); contribution title; and the topic area (see list). An abstract (no more than 200 words title included), two/three keywords, and a short list of no more than three literature references are to be provided too. It is recommended to prepare the whole proposal before starting the submission procedure, and to keep a copy of it. The secretariat will not be in position to send it back to you. Check Your Proposal before Submission Please carefully check your proposal before submission, especially the contribution title, the exact list of co-authors, their order, their exact courtesy titles, their institutional affiliations, the spelling of names, and the abstract. Checking the whole proposal before submitting is important as no changes can be taken into account after submission. This means that if accepted, the proposal will be included in the final Programme book as it had been submitted, including possible errors. Also, no changes will be considered if you have changed your mind about the title or content of the abstract, or if your situation has changed (changes in authorship, in sponsors, in your job title, or whatsoever). However please note that you may bring any changes you wish in your full paper (if you submit any for inclusion in the Proceedings) as well as during your oral presentation.
How to Submit - First fully read this page and prepare as instructed, then click on the link down the page. - Submit your proposals one by one: complete submission of Proposal 1 first, then submit Proposal 2, then Proposal 3. - Each proposal must be submitted only once: the co-authors of a proposal have to arrange for only one among them to submit that proposal.
Selection Process and Results All submitted and received proposals will be double-blind peer-reviewed by three referees. To make a decision, the Academic Committee will consider: 1/ Whether the proposed contribution would be of interest to the Conference audience; and 2/ The compliance of the proposal with the requirements for the requested session format (e.g. provision of literature references for a research-oriented Individual Paper Session; provision of information on the positions to be defended for a Roundtable; etc.: see these requirements per session format below). Proposals are either accepted or rejected: no revision process will be run. The decisions of the Academic Committee will be released on December 30, 2011. Authors will have to log back into their online submission accounts to check the status of their proposals. The secretariat will not provide this information. Please make a note of your contributions' IDs which you will also find in your submission accounts: you will need these IDs to register for the Conference. Acceptance of a proposal means that the proposed contribution may be orally presented at the Conference. Of course, once a contribution is accepted, its authors have to register for the Conference if they are to attend it.
Session Formats It is most important to meticulously follow the instructions relating to the session format which you apply for. Failing to closely meet these requirements is a cause of rejection. Individual Paper Sessions Oral presentation of one paper, either single- or multi-authored. Presenters will be allocated 30 minutes, including at least 10 minutes for discussion. In the online submission form, the authors will provide an abstract and, separately, the title, orientation (practice/research), topic area of the paper, and two or three keywords. A short list of no more than three literature references may be provided too. In the abstracts will be clearly stated the problem/issue/question addressed, the aims, methodology and main findings of the papers. Literature references will be cited where necessary (no more than the two or three major references in the field, with just author-date citations in parentheses). Citing literature references and clearly identifying the methodology used is essential for the paper to be regarded as research-oriented. The abstract should not exceed 200 words title included: please note that in the Programme book, abstract texts over 200 words will be cut-off without prior notice. To allow for anonymous reviewing, the contributors’ names should not appear in the abstract. See examples of good abstracts accepted. Failing to meet these requirements might lead the Academic Committee to re-adjust the orientation of your session, or to reassign your contribution to a more appropriate session format, or to reject your proposal. Provided that these requirements are met, the abstract may be written both in English and French: less than 100 words in English, less than 100 words in French, each version containing all the required information mentioned above, each version being the exact translation of the other, and the whole abstract being kept within the 200-word limit. Doing so would be a good way to inform potential attendees that the presenter(s) would be willing to respond questions and/or discuss and/or display slides using both languages... At least one author of the paper must have completed full registration and payment of the registration fees before May 1st, 2012; otherwise the paper will not be included in the Programme. | | Symposia
A symposium is a 110-minute themed session proposed by a group of at least five persons. A general overview of the topic and at least two papers will be presented in each symposium.

In the online submission form, the promoters will provide an abstract and, separately, the title, orientation (practice/research), topic area of the symposium, and two or three keywords. A short list of no more than three literature references may be provided too. The abstract will outline the aims and conduct of the symposium; the problem/issue/question addressed; the purposes, methods and main findings of the papers to be presented.

Workshops Workshops are 110-minute themed sessions proposed by a group of at least five persons. While symposia might be more suitable to present and discuss results of a research in its final phase, workshops are best suited for exchanging information, discussing practices, launching projects, attracting new partners, discussing ongoing research, planning future activities, etc. Workshops will be mainly devoted to collaborative work. No paper presentation is required. In the online submission form, the promoters will provide an abstract and, separately, the title, orientation (practice/research), topic area of the workshop, and two or three keywords.
