CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Dear researcher,
You are invited to join the 18th Biennial Conference on Teachers and Teaching – ISATT 2017, one of the largest international education conferences for teachers, lectures and educational researchers.
CONFERENCE THEME
We invite candidates to contribute to the conference theme: “Teaching search and research”. The essence of this conference aims to capture the mutual interrelations between the academia and schools in order to combine discourses and align positions. The particular interest is to bring practice into theory and theory to practice. Education needs a genuine understanding between these two worlds in order to offer adapted responses to multiple problems and increasingly diverse contexts.
Therefore the ISATT 2017 will encourage submissions that examine the diverse teaching contexts and the many changes occurring across education research and practice: from design to implementation. All areas where learning and pedagogy have decisive presence are susceptible to be included. ISATT 2017 is conceived as an open forum to share research works and teaching experiences in early childhood, elementary and secondary school education as well as tertiary education.

The scope of the conference includes the following sub-themes:
- The development of knowledge and understanding of teaching practices.
