Topical Papers in Education
Papers in Construction Education -
Undergraduate Education, Graduate Education, and General
Topics need pedagogical content and should include the following
elements:
|
context of course/program
|
|
professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes to be
developed
|
|
content and rationale
|
|
teaching strategies/methods
|
|
some other clearly stated pedagogical component
|
|
appeal to either:
|
a general audience (the majority of our readers)
|
|
a clearly identifiable special audience (a
specialized portion of our readers)
|
|
|
unique aspects:
|
how the subject discussed would fit into the
curriculum
|
|
how it might improve presentation of
construction in classrooms, laboratories, textbooks, or other media
|
|
|
usefulness to its intended audience
|
|
resources utilized
|
|
students’ evaluations and perceptions
|
|
descriptive analysis
|
|
include thoroughly researched list of references of
those references cited within the text, according to the JCE Style.
It is expected that papers include references from the Annual Conference
Proceedings and the Journal
|
Submissions will be reviewed by a minimum of three
members of the ASC Review Board. If the papers are inadequate, the papers
will be returned to the author(s).
