Since the time of the Greek philosopher Socrates to the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire till today, pedagogy or the method and practice of teaching and learning has evolved in many directions.

Educational institutions, tools, methods, and even values associated with education have changed. The search for what should be the best method of teaching or imparting of education/knowledge is still in progress.Research is an indispensible part of that endeavour. This international conference on teaching and learning will explore the interrelationship between pedagogy, research and social change. Many factors have played critical roles in how systems and methods of education across the world have evolved over the centuries, if not millennia. Growth of global capitalism, emergence of modern technologies, advanced research in education, geopolitical intervention in knowledge production, increase of the material value of education –all contributed to how we conceive of and impart education today. Debates remain on whether or not pedagogy and social change are related. If they are so, one may ask – how? To answer this question, again, the importance of research in pedagogy is felt immensely.

This international conference on pedagogy, research and social changewill be an interdisciplinary forum for presenting theories, research results and papers on education, language, innovation, culture, and development. The conference addresses the issue of pedagogy—particularly in the context of the current world—as explored in areas such as education, history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, language and literature, cultural studies, gender studies, political science, and other related disciplines in business, humanities, natural and social sciences. To this end, we call for papers from a particular discipline and/or from a multi-disciplinary angle addressing topics, including, but not limited to:

 Teaching (primary, secondary and tertiary) and action research
