Instructional and Developmental Communication Call:

The members of the Division of Instructional and Developmental Communication share interest in a variety of communication issues related to a) instructional communication and b) developmental processes. Our division defines instructional communication as broadly including any teaching, instructional, or learning process that may occur in a variety of contexts, both within and beyond the traditional classroom (e.g., organizational training and development, health behavior education, interpersonal skills training). These processes may include teacher-student interaction, teaching styles, instructional technology, student behaviors, and student outcomes. We are also interested in communication and developmental processes across the lifespan including the impact of mass media on children's development, the development of communication skills across the life span, and communication between generations across the life span.

The division is seeking papers and panels that deal with instructional, developmental, or both areas of scholarship. Only completed proposals will be considered. We encourage cross-institutional affiliation, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and innovative work in these areas. All proposals must be submitted using the online submission system. For more information, please see the ICA general guidelines for all submissions or contact Brandi Frisby at brandi.frisby@uky.edu.
