Division 15 invites submissions for the 2020 annual APA convention to be held in Washington, DC (August 6-9, 2020). The 2020 Presidential Theme for Division 15 will be A New Look at Some Old Ideas: Educational Psychology from Yesterday for Tomorrow. We encourage submissions related to this theme and research in Educational Psychology. Division Proposals are due no later than December 2, 2019 at 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
APA and Division 15 members and non-members are invited to submit their work for presentation in the Division 15 Program for the 2020 APA Convention. Submissions may fall under any of the following formats:
- Individual Presentations: These submissions should reflect a single project, study, or paper with 1 or more authors. Poster sessions include a collection of approximately 40 papers presented using a poster visual where attendees can walk up and ask questions of each presenter individually.
- Symposium: A symposia submission should include 3-5 papers that are organized around a common theme or area of interest. Symposia should include a chair for the session and a discussant who will comment on the papers presented. Most accepted symposia will be assigned a 50 minute session. Preference will be given to symposia submissions that closely align with the conference theme.
- Discussion (Other Proposal): A discussion submission should include 3-5 speakers or panelists who will discuss a specific topic relevant to Division 15 membership from varied perspectives. Most accepted discussions will be assigned to a 50 minute session. Preference will be given to discussion sessions that closely align to the conference theme.
All proposals may be submitted through APA’s convention proposal portal at https://convention.apa.org/proposals/division-programs
