ICTOP 2000 Symposium -- Call for Papers
Our ability, as trainers, to be responsive to learners throughout the
museum field is complicated by tremendous diversity in learners'
specializations, preparation, competency requirements, resources, and
career aspirations. This symposium draws on a combination of keynote
presentations, participants' papers, and discussion groups, to explore key
learner characteristics which influence all aspects of professional
education.
Working within a framework of contemporay theory and practice in adult
education, we are seeking papers that contribute to our understanding of
the following themes:
- professional, personal, cultural, career span and life span factors which
shape learner needs, interests and behaviours
- competency development in the context of personal, professional, and
institutional expectations
- program delivery strategies that respond to learner needs and styles
Please submit a brief abstract of your proposed paper to the Conference
Committee by February 1, 2000. In addition to describing the focus
and content of your paper, pleaseindicate how it will be relevant to one or
more of the themes listed above.
Abstracts will be reviewed according to the following criteria:
- relevance to the symposium themes and sessions
- integration of theoretical and practical elements
- presentation of innovative and useful strategies for understanding and
responding to learner needs
Papers will be selected in early February and incorporated in the Symposium
schedule according to theme. A poster session will also be featured during
the Symposium to provide a venue for short presentations on topics that are
not encompassed by the thematic sessions.
