History 2025
The 4th International Conference on Education, Teaching, and Learning was held from October 8–9, 2025, as a hybrid event in the dynamic city of Bangkok, Thailand. Organized by iConferences, the event was made possible through the collaboration of four distinguished academic partners — the Kulliyyah of Education, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Faculty of Education, Al Madinah International University, Malaysia, Faculty of Education, Khon Kaen University, Thailand and Lincoln University College.
The conference offered an engaging and intellectually stimulating experience, featuring keynote addresses, panel discussions, workshops, oral presentations and poster presentations. Centered around the theme ““Reimagining Education: Global Perspectives, Innovations, and Challenges” participants explored forward-thinking approaches to education, encompassing themes such as teaching and learning innovation, educational leadership, higher education, and emerging technologies.
Scholars and practitioners from across the globe — including representatives from South Korea , India, Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, United States, Slovenia, Myanmar, Brunei, Bangladesh, Japan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Nepal — shared their research and insights, fostering meaningful dialogue and global collaboration. The conference served as an impactful platform for exchange of ideas and partnership building, contributing to the advancement of educational research and practice worldwide.
Technical Sessions
Session 1 – Innovative Pedagogies (Part 1)
Session 1 examined forward-looking teaching approaches that foreground learner engagement and relevance. Presentations reported on the effects of flipped learning in a linguistics class, the design and practical lessons of student-centred learning environments, and how pre-service teachers’ prior knowledge shapes their first science lessons. Innovative assessment and culturally grounded pedagogy were also highlighted, including an online physics assessment integrating computational thinking with Batik-making (PhyCoBa) and a project that reimagined final projects to centre equity, innovation, and student voice. Taken together, the studies illustrated how pedagogy that blends technology, culture, and student agency can deepen learning and foster inclusion.
Session 2 – Poster Presentations
The poster session provided a lively forum for short-format research and practice-focused projects across education and community development. Posters ranged from home-based empowerment initiatives to caregiver perception studies, presenting pilot data, intervention designs, and localised solutions to educational challenges. The interactive format allowed participants to engage directly with presenters, probe methodologies, and discuss practical implications for schools and communities. Overall, the session showcased the breadth of emerging work and encouraged cross-pollination of ideas between researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.
Session 3 – Innovative Pedagogies (Part 2)
Continuing the pedagogical conversation, Session 3 focused on implementation and reflective practice in innovative classrooms. Presentations explored strategies for deepening critical thinking, integrating digital tools to enhance conceptual understanding, and structuring classroom activities that promote student inquiry and collaboration. Case studies of reworked curricula and classroom experiments illustrated both challenges and measurable benefits of student-centred designs. The session emphasized sustaining innovation through reflective cycles, teacher support, and alignment between assessment and learning goals.
Session 4 – Empowering the Next Generation
Session 4 centred on programs and practices that prepared young people for active, equitable participation in society. Speakers presented research on leadership development, inclusive pedagogy that elevates marginalised voices, and curricula that cultivate creativity and problem-solving. Evidence from school- and community-based initiatives demonstrated how targeted supports and opportunities for authentic student agency can expand pathways to higher education and civic engagement. Collectively, the presentations underscored education’s role in equipping the next generation with both competence and confidence.
Session 5 – Teacher Professional Development
This session addressed the continuous learning ecosystems needed to sustain quality teaching. Presenters highlighted mentoring models, professional learning communities, and programs that promoted reflective practice and digital pedagogical skills. Several studies showcased how sustained, collaborative professional development improved instructional practice and student outcomes, particularly when tied to classroom coaching and context-specific resources. The session reinforced that teacher growth requires ongoing support, opportunities for peer exchange, and alignment with school leadership priorities.
Session 6 – Educational Innovations
Session 6 showcased inventive approaches to curriculum, assessment, and technology that reshaped learning experiences. Presentations included pilot projects on interdisciplinary units, culturally responsive curriculum design, and novel assessment formats that valuated creativity and higher-order thinking. Case studies illustrated how blending local knowledge with global competencies produced more relevant and resilient learning pathways. The session highlighted innovation as both an outcome and a process—one that thrives on experimentation, evaluation, and community partnership.
Session 7 – Building Resilient Families
The final session explored the vital role of families and community systems in supporting learners’ well-being and resilience. Presentations addressed parental engagement strategies, family-centred interventions, and programs designed to bolster emotional and social supports for children. Research shared evidence on strengthening home–school partnerships, improving communication, and tailoring interventions to diverse family contexts. These contributions emphasized that resilient learning outcomes depend not only on school practices but on coordinated supports that include families and communities.
The Award Ceremony
The Award ceremony was conducted in order to recognize the exceptional research presentations for each technical session.
