Jan Hawkins 2003 Awards and the 2004: Call for Nominations
The Jan Hawkins Award of Division C of the American Educational
Research Association is given for Early Career Contributions to
Humanistic Research and Scholarship in Learning Technologies. The
award carries a stipend of $500 and the opportunity to present a talk
at the award session at AERA in the following year.
Nominations are now open for the 2004 Jan Hawkins Award. This award
recognizes an individual or small collaborative team that is engaged
in research that combines in some way practice and advocacy. While
research must play a central, informative role in the work of the
applicant, the applying individual or group may include
practitioners, directors of innovative educational programs or
individuals in informal or non-traditional educational environments
who are blending research, practice, and advocacy.
The award is intended to recognize a body of work that:
* explores and demonstrates powerful new ways to think about
technologies in contexts
of learning and education, and uses innovative research techniques
to understand the
impact of those technologies.
* places young people and/or practicing educators at the center of
the problem-solving
process by making their meaning-making process, their needs and
constraints, and
their priorities central to the project of making technology
useful to teaching and
learning.
* strikes an effective balance between innovation ---inventing new
approaches to K-12
learning with technologies -- and understanding -- examining
existing educational
environments and changes that occur when technologies are
introduced or used in
novel ways.
* uses technology to bring about broad improvements in educational
systems with a
focus on issues of diversity, equity, and learning for all.
* is an early-career contribution with the above orientations (the
award will emphasize
recognition for those individuals who are at the pre-tenure stage
in academic careers,
or pre-tenure-level equivalents in non-university contexts).
