2011 New Orleans Conference
Conference Theme: The 2011 CAERDA Conference theme is “Curriculum, Instruction, Research, and Practice in Education in the 21st Century.” Educational research is a general term for the study of educational problems with a systematic application of the scientific method. Educational research findings contribute to teaching and learning as practitioners know how to identify, understand, and evaluate these findings. At this conference, we are particularly interested in research related to (1) curriculum studies; (2) instruction; (3) educational research methods, measurement, or program evaluations; and (4) education policy. Within this broad conference theme, the conference will particularly focus on the following sub-themes:
Sub-theme 1: Curriculum studies, curriculum development or curriculum theory
Sub-theme 2: Instruction in various subject areas (for example, teaching and learning mathematics, literacy, science or ESL from Pre-k to College) and the application of educational technology in these subject areas
Sub-theme 3: Educational research methods, measurement, or program evaluations
Sub-theme 4: Education policy based on research findings
2010 Denver Conference
Conference Theme: The 2010 CAERDA Conference theme is “Examining and Applying Educational Research in Teaching and Learning”.
Sub-theme 1: Enhancing teaching and learning through the use of educational research methodology (e.g., research design and data analytic techniques to examine educational phenomena);
Sub-theme 2: Evaluating the effects of interventions or instructions (e.g., evaluation of early interventions to prevent at-risk students from academic failure);
Sub-theme 3: Educational measurement (e.g., measurement of teacher or student beliefs, testing of student knowledge or competence);
Sub-theme 4: Applying educational research in teaching and learning practice (e.g., developing research based classroom teaching practice; using student assessment data to improve teaching and learning);
Sub-theme 5: Developing educational policies based on research findings (e.g., data-driven educational policies; strategies for implementing effective educational models for interventions at a school and district levels).

2007 Chicago Conference
Conference Theme: The theme is “Demystifying Model Minority’s Academic Achievement: Implications of Chinese/Asian Educational Principles and Practices for a Global Learning Community.” In an era of accountability reform and increasing globalization, many educational researchers and practitioners turn to Asian cultures and educational models for inspiration. This theme provides multiple venues for a renewed interest in understanding the “Model Minority” phenomena and solicits a heightened focus on the recent advances in cross-cultural multi-ethnic educational research.
