Details
This year’s theme encourages contributions that broadly explore the relationship between ideas and action - or principles and practice - in the field of education. Education is a discipline tasked with understanding and refining the practice and practical application of educative processes; and Education is also, at the same time, a field that grapples with profound questions about knowledge, learning, culture and society. Too often, principles and practice are crudely separated into separate domains, to the detriment of both. This on-line conference will serve as a critical debate about educational philosophy and theory embedded in educative practices. Focusing on ‘principles’ rather than theory, we hope, offers a broader scope for discussion, including the ethics and political economy of working on and in education, in a moment of significant social and political change.
Conference presenters include:
- Researchers in education (at all levels)
- Practitioner reseachers
- PhD and EdD students
- MA & PGCE students
- Third sector partners
Themes for the conference are:
- Practical theorising: understanding the intellectual base for teacher education
- Principles into practice: challenges and opportunities for research-informed teaching/teaching-informed research
- Principles into practice: beyond schooling
- Principles into practice: creative pedagogy
- Principles into practice in language learning
- Principles into practice: SEND, wellbeing, and inclusion
- Principles into practice in the wider world: international/intercultural education in a post-Brexit world
- Reflections on life during/after Coronavirus: continuity and change
The papers examining the above themes will be included in panels A, B, D or E
