You are invited to submit a proposal to present your research in biology education for the 2013 NABT Professional Development Conference. This is a refereed session. All papers will go through double blind peer review. All accepted papers will be presented during the symposium and published online in the 2013 proceedings. 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.

Complete instructions are found on the 2013 CALL FOR PROPOSALS.

The proposal submission deadline is midnight on June 15, 2013. Blind review will take place in June with final selection by June 30, 2013. Submitters will be notified of acceptance or denial in early July, 2013. 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.
