*Call for Nominations for the 2017 AERA Division D **Significant
Contribution to Educational Measurement and Research Methodology Award*
Division D of AERA welcomes nominations for the 2017 Award for Significant
Contribution to Educational Measurement and Research Methodology. This
annual award recognizes one piece of published research judged to represent
a significant conceptual advancement in the theory and practice of
educational measurement and/or educational research methodology. This award
is *not* considered a lifetime achievement award; the significance of the
contribution itself will be the primary consideration for this award. The
research may be the work of an individual or a team of researchers.
Since 2014, the Award has been rotating among the three sections of
Division D (Section 1 Measurement, Psychometrics, and Assessment; Section 2
Quantitative Methods and Statistical Theory; Section 3 Qualitative Research
Methods). *The 2017 award will be in Section 2: Quantitative Methods and
Statistical Theory*.
*Selection Guidelines*
In selecting a winner, the following guidelines will apply:
· Quality, originality, and potential impact of the research on
educational measurement and/or research methodology are the primary criteria
for this award.
· The recognized publication may be, but is not limited to, a
refereed research article in either a print or online journal, a paper
published in a refereed conference proceeding, a monograph, a book chapter,
or a book. The work must have been published between *August 1, 2013 and
July 31, 2016*.
· The nomination should be submitted electronically unless the
material is not available in that format.
· For articles, papers, book chapters, and books (not edited
books), all authors must be nominated for the award; and, the first author
must be a member of Division D of AERA.
· Edited books may be submitted with the editors as the nominees.
For edited volumes, the editors must have contributed significantly to the
work; the nomination letter should describe how the editors contributed.
· The nominator agrees that this work will not be nominated for a
similar award that will be given during the 2017 Annual Meeting of either
AERA or NCME.
*Application Procedures*
A complete nomination consists of:
· The nomination letter (self nominations are welcome) should
include how the research impacts methodology and how it contributes in an
original way to methodology.
· A copy of the nominated research publication, including its
bibliographic citation. If the publication is a book or monograph, the
nominator should indicate which portion of the book or monograph is
nominated for this award and include sample pages or chapters in the packet.
· At least one additional letter of recommendation addressing the
quality and potential impact of the research. The letter of recommendation
must come from someone who is not affiliated with the nominated work.
