| IRA Dina Feitelson Research Award | Updated September 02nd, 2008 |
|
The International Reading Association’s Dina Feitelson Research Award was established to honor the memory of Dina Feitelson. The award recognizes an outstanding empirical study that was published in English in a refereed journal and that reports on an investigation of aspects of literacy acquisition such as phonemic awareness, the alphabetic principle, bilingualism, home influences on literacy development, or cross-cultural studies of beginning reading. The results of the study should have clear implications for instruction. Empirical studies involve the collection of original data from direct experimentation or observation. Articles that develop theory without data, secondary reviews of the literature, or descriptions of the practical application of a theory are not eligible for this competition. The author(s) of the selected work will receive recognition at the Research Awards Luncheon of the Reading Research Conference on Saturday, May 2, 2009 in Minneapolis, Minnesota (one day prior to the International Reading Association’s Annual Convention). The selected author (s) will be notified of this information in January 2009. The quality of the publication is evaluated with respect to the following criteria: significance of the issue under investigation, appropriateness of methodology used to investigate the topic or problem, presentation and analysis of data, appropriateness of conclusions/interpretations, and implications of the study for school or classroom practice. For the 2009 award year, works published between January 2007 and December 2007, may be nominated. Manuscripts may be submitted for consideration by researchers, authors, and others. Two good quality, clear and complete copies of the published paper should be submitted with full bibliographic information identifying the author(s), source and publication date.
