JURE encourages all scientific papers of research in education by doctoral students or beginning researchers as well as PhD degree holders till 3 years after defence. Any subject in learning and instruction and related educational issues is welcome. CONFERENCE THEME Conducting research is often a road with obstacles. This conference is a great opportunity to learn from the experiences of peers and senior researchers. Problems that arise from conducting research are the focus of the keynote speeches (theory), panels (discussions) and workshops (practice). There are 3 main issues: 1. Before research: DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY ISSUES 2. During research: RESEARCH AS A COURSE OF ACTION 3. After research: INTERPRETATION & PRESENTATION ISSUES CALL FOR PAPERS Researchers can submit a proposal for one of three activities outlined below: 1. Paper presentation: 20 minutes of presentation followed by 10 minutes for questions and discussions. Junior researchers will chair the sessions. 2. Poster presentation: posters will be displayed in 90 minute sessions that will allow presenters to discuss their research with conference members on an informal basis. An excellent opportunity to get feedback through interactive discussion with several participants. 3. Roundtable discussions: For the first time in the history of JURE conferences, you will have a chance to be a discussant in a roundtable discussion session.
