Annual Public Conference on Envisioning Reciprocal Learning Between Canada and China
We live in an age when education is at the heart of social policy and public discussion and when education is a world-wide topic. Education is personal, specific and concrete but increasingly this concreteness is shaped by international considerations. China is first among our newcomer families and children and a recent report predicts that China will be the top scoring country in the upcoming Program for International Student Assessment results (PISA). How different and similar are Chinese Confucian and Western educational systems and practices? What can we reciprocally learn from one another as global concerns come to the forefront in educational planning and practice?
The purpose of this conference is to explore these matters in a way that is informative and makes a difference to parents, students, teachers, teacher educators and other educational professionals. We welcome paper submissions around seven curricular themes. We welcome papers that describe specific situations, and/or make philosophical and social arguments for and against educational forms and practices. We especially welcome empirically descriptive studies that describe practices in the thematic curricular areas.
Thematic Curriculum Areas:
- Programs for Cross-Cultural Education Between China and the West
- General Education and Culture
- Mathematics and Science Education
- Language and Culture Education
- Teacher Education Commons
- Information and Communication Technologies
- Arts and Humanities Education
