Invitation to submit an abstract to PATT38!

First call – submission dead-line October 15, 2019

PATT38 in Finland, in the University of Turku, Rauma Campus in April 27.―30. 2020

Dear Colleagues,

PATT (Pupils´ Attitudes Toward Technology) is an international community of technology education colleagues (researchers, teacher educators, teachers, etc.) who are interested in educational research as a support to developments in technology teaching. In 2020, the 38^th PATT -conference is taking place in the University of Turku, Finland, on Rauma campus of the Department of Teacher Education. The conference is from the 27^th to the 30^th of April 2020.

On behalf of the PATT38 organising committee we wish to invite you to submit abstracts for the upcoming conference. The conference theme is Technology in our hands – Creative pedagogy and ambitious teacher education. The theme highlights the contemporary view of human cognition being ultimately based on bodily experiences. In technology education, this implies the acknowledgement of the importance of physical objects, experiences and activities in the creation and application of technology.

A precondition for high level technology education is ambitious teacher education. We encourage you to submit abstracts that consider craft, design and technology education in early childhood education, in primary and secondary education as well as in higher education, as a cognitive, embodied experience of pupils and students as well as various examples of pre-service and in-service training and experiences and competencies of pre-service and in-service teachers.

We invite abstracts that are related to the conference theme or technology education in a more general level. Abstracts will be peer-reviewed. Full papers will be invited based on accepted abstracts. All peer-reviewed and accepted full papers (3000 words) will be published in the conference proceedings.

Deadline for abstracts is October 15^th, 2019.

Abstracts (max. 300 words) should be submitted no later than on the 15th of October 2019. The abstracts should be in IMRD form: introduction, methods, results, discussion.
