The Theme for the 2012 AVETRA Conference is:
The Value and Voice of VET Research:
For individuals, industry, community and the nation
Research in VET occurs in many different contexts and is carried out by a wide range of researchers and practitioners. As a community we do not often stop and evaluate the effects of our work and advocacy. This theme provides us with the opportunity to do exactly this. The theme encourages us to share our experiences in our particular research area within the broader context of the social, economic and political contributions that our work makes.
The conference will be structured around the following broad themes:
1. The economic and industry impacts of VET research
2. The social and community impacts of VET research
3. VET research and its relationship to policy formulation
4. The impacts of VET research on individual learners and groups of learners
5. The place and role of new researchers
6. The “voice” of VET research: Whose and who listens?
AVETRA accepts only research-based conference papers. For this purpose, research is taken to mean any systematic investigation into a subject or topic with the aim of creating new knowledge or revising existing knowledge.
Papers
Individual paper presentations must be no longer than 25 minutes and will be broken down as follows:
• 15 minutes paper presentation
• 10 minutes questions and discussion
• 5 minutes changeover between speakers
Authors who want their papers peer reviewed must submit them by Friday, 10 February 2012.
Interactive Sessions
The conference aims to provide practical assistance to VET researchers and practitioners and to those new to VET research. Submissions for a 60 minute session which involves and challenges a small group of participants are requested. These may be workshops, symposia, roundtable or panel discussions but the proposal must identify the target audience and expected outcomes of the session.
Interactive Sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes but timing may be revised depending on number of abstracts received and accepted by the reviewing committee.
