Education,
Society & Reform Research (EDUSREF-2019) is an International Conference
that aims to bridge the knowledge gap, promote social research esteem, and
produce democratic information for potential education reforms.
As
the other social systems, the education systems from pre-school to higher
education face the challenges deriving from social, demographic, economic,
technological, political, and the other trends both in local and global level.
It seems vital to respond to these challenges in short-term and prepare the
reform frameworks in long-term for making and preserving education systems more
effective than ever before. At least, one of the ways of this attempt is to
enlarge and disseminate what we know about education and society.
Main
Theme of the Conference is
“Questioning
of Changes in Education: Looking for Priorities in Education”
Each
change or reform initiative in education systems does not produce the expected
results. Even, these changes mostly increase the current ball of problems in
education systems. Can an education policy or implementation that aims to
improve the education quality produce new inequalities or unexpected results?
Today also, more than ever, the limited sources entail to draw attention to the
essential priorities in education. It is vital to question the changes both
today and tomorrow.
Some
questions that we should think about may be given as follows:
What
are the essential priorities in education?
What
kind of changes in education is needless? How are the problems or side effects
that appear after the changes in education managed?
What
kinds of effects do arise during the changes in the social systems especially
in education?
How
should the potential changes both today and tomorrow be planned to minimize the
social, economic or technological risks?
In
this respect we expect the contributions of social researchers dealing with in
the conference topic in the field of education, sociology, psychology,
philosophy, management, economics, social anthropology, law, social statistics,
etc. No particular methodologies will be preferred and we expect the submissions
that reflect the widest range of robust and imaginative research designs.
Within
the need for improvement in the current changes in social systems, the
conference aims also to help education policy makers with reform choices. The
conference therefore welcomes a range of topics including children and
families, academic achievement, curriculum development, education technology,
creativity and innovation, comparative education, life-long learning,
educational administration, education and development, international education,
leadership, teacher quality, equity, policies and practices, economics,
accountability, autonomy and other issues related to the main theme of the
conference
