Do you have a great teaching technique that you want to share with others? Did you consult the literature for background information on your new technique before implementing it? Did you take steps to determine if student learning was better as a result based on assessment data? If so, why not get your work published and share with others? Or, if you have a basic essay on your teaching or want to do a book review on something you read receently this call for papers below is for you. I am always happy to provide guidance to those members who want to get published by preparing and then submitting a manuscript for publication. So give it some thought.
Call for Papers -- Fall 2010 Issue of MountainRise, 6(2)
Submissions are invited for the upcoming Fall Issue. Submission deadline is October 4, 2010
Suggested Areas for Submissions
Articles
Articles are to focus upon research in any area of pedagogy or focus upon current issues in teaching & learning and the practical implications of that research for teaching and learning in higher education. Some possible directions include but are not limited to the following:
• Explain a particular problem in teaching and/or the learning experience and, based upon research, provide a solution with justification and results and how those results are to be understood
• Present a personal case study or pedagogical problem, how and why it was researched as it was, the results, and the evaluation of those results with suggestions for further changes
• Explain the perspectives and expectations of students today on teaching & learning based upon measured investigation, interviews, etc. and what are their reasons and the implications of those perspectives for faculty
Reflections
Each issue may also publish 1-2 non-scholarly reflections about the nature, art, meaning, spirit, experience of teaching or why SoTL is of value today. (Length: 1000-1500 words.)
Book Reviews
Each issue may contain 1-2 book review of works relevant and/or useful to our international readership. The journal requests book for review from publishers and designates reviewers for those titles (Length: 1000 words).
We are excited to share with you our new platform – through Open Journal Systems – with a new look and feel. We hope you will enjoy the journal’s new features which include interactive features, an electronic reviewing system, and new genres that include book reviews, case studies, and video-enhanced articles.
Articles from the journal are now also fully accessible through the Education Database in EBSCO host – as well as through our new site (no need to change your bookmarks, the old URL has changed to get you there.) http://mountainrise.wcu.edu/
