OUTSTANDING PAPER AWARDS Each year, two awards are given as part of the annual conference: The Rayma Harchar Outstanding Research Paper Award and the LERA Outstanding Graduate Student Research Paper Award. Selection is based on the quality of the written paper, and criteria for judging will be made available upon notification of acceptance of the proposal. The recipient of the Rayma Harchar Outstanding Research Paper Award will have the paper published in Research Issues in Contemporary Research (RICE), and is invited to present the paper at the following year’s Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (AERA). The recipient also receives reimbursement up to a maximum of $500 to support travel to this meeting. Any paper whose principal author is a current graduate student or a student who completed a thesis or dissertation in 2018 that was submitted in partial fulfillment of degree requirements at a college or university in Louisiana will be eligible for the LERA Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Award. The recipient of this award will be invited to submit the paper for publication in RICE. To be considered for either award, the completed paper must be submitted as an e-mail attachment to the awards chair, Amanda Mayeaux at [email protected] on or before January 20, 2020. Papers submitted for either award will be evaluated on the following criteria: (a) subject/problem, (b) research design or procedure, (c) results, (d) findings and discussion, and (e) mechanics. Announcements of awards are made at the Friday session of the annual LERA meeting. Papers must not exceed 25 pages. Visit Archives for information on past winners. |
