Call for proposals for upcoming
special issue of Educational Psychology Review
Special Issue Topic -
Theoretical Perspectives and Empirical Evidence Relevant to Classroom
Instruction with Instructional Manipulatives.
Guest Editors: Scott C.
Marley and Kira J. Carbonneau. University of New Mexico. Educational Psychology
Program.
You are invited to contribute a proposal for the upcoming
special issue entitled “Theoretical Perspectives and Empirical Evidence Relevant
to Classroom Instruction with Manipulatives.” Activity-based instructional
strategies that utilize concrete representations (i.e., manipulatives) are often
suggested as efficacious techniques for teaching content and concepts in
science, math and language arts. The purpose of this special issue will be to
provide modern commentaries relevant to instructional manipulatives with a focus
on application in classroom contexts.
Potential topics of interest to the
special issue are:
Contemporary theoretical explanations
Developmental
considerations
STEM instruction with manipulatives
Language arts
instruction with manipulatives
Transfer of learning
Instructional
considerations
Virtual manipulatives
Methodological issues associated with
research on manipulatives
Physical characteristics of
manipulatives
Assessment issues
Working memory issues related to
manipulatives
Student engagement with manipulatives
Motivational and
affective considerations
Problem solving with manipulatives
Future
directions
Proposals should be double-spaced, no more than 500 words and
should be emailed directly to Dr. Scott C. Marley at marley@unm.edu. All
proposals should contain the following:
1. Proposed manuscript
title
2. A brief description of the topic of your proposed manuscript and
rationale for publication
3. A proposed outline for the manuscript.
4.
Author information including name, institutional affiliation, email, phone and
mailing address.
Please submit your proposal by January 15th 2013.
Proposals will be reviewed by the guest editors and invitations will be extended

Theme: School Leadership and the Learning Sciences: What Each Needs to Learn from the Other
Host Editors: Steve Myran and Jason Osborne
Both educational psychologists and school leaders seem to work toward the same goal: success for students, job satisfaction for teachers, happy parents and communities. Yet it is not clear that the two communities of practitioners and scholars are effectively communicating with each other.
The goal of this research topic is to bring important communities of scholars and practitioners together in one place to begin a conversation about what each group needs to know about the other. Specifically, what do educational leaders (and scholars of educational leadership) need to know about the science of learning, and what do scientists studying learning need to know about the realities and contexts in which that learning occurs?
In the learning sciences we have a century of science that tells us many things about how students of all ages learn, and new findings are constantly casting light on what is truly useful and important. In educational leadership we have deep knowledge of the contextual and procedural realities of schooling and education. It seems important that the two groups learn from the other to make the scholarship and practice of education more effective.
In particular, we welcome articles that attempt to reach across the silos, that attempt to speak to what scholars in the learning sciences should know about educational leadership, and what educational leaders should know from the learning sciences.
