CALL FOR PAPERS

The Faculty of Education, University of Kragujevac, is organising an international conference entitled Professional Competences for Teaching in the 21st Century in a friendly environment for the researchers and academics to share their research, discuss results, and network for further collaboration.

Life in the 21st century is constantly being challenged by advances and changes in living and working that mainly result from fast technological growth and demands of information-rich work environments. To respond successfully to the transformed nature of work and social relationships, education systems worldwide have highlighted the key role of teachers for developing the crucial learner competences at all levels of education, from kindergarten to higher education, in the following areas: ways of thinking (creativity and innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, learning to learn, metacognition), ways of working (communication, collaboration, teamwork), tools for working (information literacy, ICT literacy), and living in the world (citizenship, life and career, personal and social responsibility and cultural awareness) (Binkley et al., 2012). Since the greatest responsibility for providing conditions for deeper learning and competence development in the classroom lies with the teachers, teacher education and professional development programmes need to help student teachers and practicing teachers develop pedagogical strategies that promote learner competence development.

The main aim of the conference is to study from the national and international perspectives how teacher education can best respond to the new demand for developing student teacher pedagogical strategies that promote learner competence development. Teacher educators and experts in the field of preschool teacher education, primary and secondary school teacher education, teacher professional development, and curriculum development, are invited to share their views on and experience in developing professional competences for teaching in the 21st century. The conference themes include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

  • quality and development of preschool teacher 21st century professional competences
  • quality and development of class teacher 21st century professional competences
  • quality and development of primary school teacher 21st century professional competences
  • quality and development of secondary school teacher 21st century professional competences
  • teacher education study programmes and 21st century professional competences
  • teacher professional development programmes and 21st century professional competences.

We expect most speakers to be from the academic fields of educational sciences, but welcome research papers from the other academic fields that relate to teacher education.
