SUMMARY:Southwest Consortium for Innovative Psychology in Education Third 
 Bi-Annual Conference 2009
DESCRIPTION:SCIPIE invites you to participate in third bi-annual SCIPIE co
 nference.  As you know, one goal of SCIPIE is to conduct bi-annual confer
 ences that allow for extended conversations about innovative research pro
 jects.   The emphases of these conferences are on research currently in p
 rogress and "sticky problems" that researchers face in their work.  The c
 onferences are also inteneded to provide new scholars and graduate studen
 ts with opportunities for legitimate participation in conversations about
  difficult issues and leading-edge efforts.\n\nThe third SCIPIE conferenc
 e will bring together researchers to examine diverse responses to the que
 stions: "How does culture influence teaching and learning?" At the macro 
 level, culture encompasses diversity in language, traditions, and identit
 ies.  At a micro level, culture refers to specific educational contexts s
 uch as those found in urban schools, rural schools, and in individual cla
 ssrooms.  We are particularly interested in conversations about the chall
 enges and opportunities represented at the intersection between the macro
  and micro levels.  It is your original ideas that drive the mission unde
 rlying SCIPIE working conferences.  Opportunities may include enriching o
 ur understanding of motivation, epistemology, and emotions by viewing the
 se constructs through particular cultural lenses.  Issues of methodology 
 (research design, measurement of constructs, valid assessment of student 
 performance, evaluation of programs, etc.) present considerable challenge
 s as well.
