ICCE Conference on Practice-driven Research, Teacher Professional Development and Policy of ICT in Education (PTP)

In response to emerging research diversity, ICCE2014 will be a meta-conference, comprising of seven co-located theme-based conferences. This is the Call for Papers for the theme-based conference, C7: Practice-driven Research, Teacher Professional Development and Policy of ICT in Education (PTP). All the accepted papers will be published in proceedings which will be indexed by Elsevier Bibliographic Databases (e.g., Scopus, Engineering Village and others).Authors of accepted distinguished full papers will be invited to submit extended versions of the papers for consideration of publication in Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning (RPTEL), the official academic journal of the Asia Pacific Society for Computers in Education. ICT has emerged as an integral part of students’ 21st century competencies and hence efforts in integrating ICT into classrooms are promoted by almost all ministries of education. Such efforts include formulating national and local policies, promoting instructional leaderships of principals and heads of department, enhancing teachers’ technological, pedagogical and content knowledge and researching students’ experience and learning outcomes. The sub-conference aims to connect researchers in the Asia-Pacific region and other parts of the world to share scholarly findings and professional insights into the research, practice and policies on ICT in education.
