Dear Friends & Colleagues,
On behalf of CERA-UK, we are delighted to announce that our 2015 Conference will take place on the 25th - 26th June at UCL, Institute of
Education. We hope you will participate in this year’s conference by submitting an abstract for presentation, or as a conference delegate listening to speakers and taking part in discussion and social exchanges.
The Chinese Educational Research Association-UK contributes to critical research and discussion relating to Chinese Education in its broadest
sense. We provide opportunities for post-graduate students and professional academics to become involved and to share their interests. Ours is a rapidly growing field of study and general interest as Chinese educational issues begin to attract world-wide attention.
Alongside this the CERA annual conferences have been growing too.
● Conference Theme:
The conference theme this year is
‘Chinese Education Today: Practice and Research’. The conference particularly encourages contributions to explore the links between educational research and educational practice.
Based on the previous two conferences, CERA members have developed the following special interest groups within Chinese educational research:
·
Chinese language education
·
English language education in China
·
Higher education and policy in China
·
Comparative education
·
Early childhood education in China
·
Education technology and media in China
·
Migrant children and education policy in China
·
Education and (economic, social and cultural) development in China
·
Inclusive and special needs education in China
·
School curriculum and subject development in China
·
Teacher education and development in China
·
Chinese students in the UK
These and others will form the sub-themes for our conference. We welcome proposals from CERA members and conference attendees for ideas
about new themes to enrich the range of discussion at the conference.
● Events and Opportunities:
The CERA-UK Annual Conference provides a unique space for scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students to share and discuss their ongoing
or recent work with peers. The conference offers opportunities to benefit from feedback in a supportive and stimulating environment. At the conference we will provide a platform for you to promote your own research and publications.
The CERA-UK Annual Conference provides opportunities for participants to gain experience through chairing sessions and to learn more about
various topics in relevant fields through networking with peers and with more experienced scholars.
The CERA-UK Annual Conference also provides a vibrant and interactive online community for scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students
to share their experiences and to exchange their ideas.
