The call for papers for the Learner Conference 2019 is already open

In 2019, Common Ground's Learner conference will take place in Belfast at Queen's University.  

Do you plan to go to the United Kingdom next year to enjoy the summer? If so, here is some good news: you can submit your proposal for the twenty-sixth International Conference on Learning now and start planning the trip. Advanced registration is  also open until 24 October 2018 for $500. The cost will increase to $650 after 24 July 2019.  Returning members and students also get a discounted registration rate. Paying in dollars will ease the pain a little as the South African Rand is weaker against the British pound.

The Learner conference forms part of the Common Ground Research Network group that offers a large range of conferences all over the world in several disciplines. The 2019 Learner Conference will take place at Queen's University in Belfast, northern Ireland, from 24 to 26 July 2019. Queen's University is next to the large botanical garden and near the River Lagan.

The first due date for proposals is by the end of May 2018, but proposals will be accepted throughout the year. The review process of proposal submissions takes between 2 to 4 weeks.

One of the advantages of attending this kind of conference is the exposure to how other disciplines see and conduct teaching, focus on students and develop new strategies to address current challenges and problems. Ten tracks provide a large range of possibilities for delivery of focused research results on the one hand and provide delegates opportunities to expand their knowledge in other fields of  interest. The themes for the 2019 conference are:
  •  Pedagogy and Curriculum
  • Assessment and Evaluation
  • Educational Organization and Leadership
  •  Early Childhood Learning
  • Learning in Higher Education
  • Adult, Community, and Professional Learning
  • Learner Diversity and Identities
  • Technologies in Learning
  • Literacy Learning
  • Science, Mathematics, and Technology Learning
