“EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE AND RESEARCH IN A TURBULENT WORLD”
Dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the University of Lithuania
The 6th Lithuanian Educational Research Association (LERA) Conference organised by the Lithuanian Educational Research Association (LERA) and Vytautas Magnus University Academy of Education
13 – 14 October 2022
We invite you to participate in the 6th Lithuanian Educational Research Association (LERA) Conference “Educational Practice and Research in a Turbulent World” organised by the Lithuanian Educational Research Association (LERA) and the Academy of Education of Vytautas Magnus University.
Technology-driven change has become a part of the world’s daily routine, but climate change, COVID, and military aggression in Europe have shown that the world has to cope with a multitude of simultaneous challenges and crisis situations. What must education be, how must it intersect with the lives of individuals, communities and organisations in order to help people, and especially the younger generation, to become individuals capable of living and working in a rapidly changing world? Human learning is more than cognitive or academic development. Learning is a complex phenomenon and goes hand in hand with social, emotional and psychological development and the formation of personal identity. Learners’ identities interact with a range of factors that include the context of the educational institution, racial, geographical, gender, socio-economic aspects, and different ways of knowing, communicating, valuing, thinking, speaking and writing. Teachers are an important focus of this theme, trying to answer how teachers develop a personal and professional identity that is shaped by their qualifications, experience, professional learning, school context and personal and professional goals. How should this younger generation be educated so that children and young people develop an identity based on values? What are the challenges for educators and the school to inspire such education? How to enable lifelong learning, so necessary for people in a turbulent world? Are Lithuanian universities developing individuals who take responsibility for the future of Lithuania? What are the challenges for educational researchers?
