ECE/ECLL/ECTC 2015 Programme Cover Image:“Bandstand,” by Jim Haldane

Beautiful and truly unique, the Bandstand is located on Brighton’s vibrant seafront. Designed by Phillip Lockwood,
Brighton Borough Surveyor, and completed in 1884 The Bandstand is considered to be one of the finest
examples of a Victorian bandstand still surviving in England today. The original design featured a bridge linking
the upper promenade with the Bandstand which was removed in the late 1970s. The ground floor was used as
public conveniences until 2003 when vandalism forced their closure. It was restored to its original specification
and re-opened in summer 2009, having undergone a major restoration project to return the building to its
Victorian splendour. The deck of the bandstand is used for regular concerts, whilst the base of the building has
been converted into a café with an al fresco area.

Dear Delegates,

letter of welcome

Welcome to the city of Brighton & Hove, a vibrant and diverse centre of Arts and Culture.
Ever since the Prince Regent first visited in 1783, Brighton & Hove has been England’s most exciting seaside city, and today it’sas vibrant, eccentric and cosmopolitan as ever. As Mayor it’s my job to try and represent our city to others and its civic life to
the people who live here… quite a job, considering the depth and breadth of our offer.
Our city has a bohemian, artistic and eccentric atmosphere that can’t be found anywhere else in the UK. We combine themodern with the traditional and the outlandish with the everyday; tempting and treating visitors and residents alike with aunique cultural experience.
If you’ve never visited I urge you to get out and about and make the most of the rich cultural mix - Regency architecture,pleasure pier, specialist shops, pavement cafés, lively arts and of course the exotic Royal Pavilion. Everything’s in walking
distance, so take time to explore and enjoy what the city has to offer.
Our City–by-the-sea has a passion for creativity, a desire to look at things differently, and a friendliness that attracts visitors fromall over the world. Whether it’s the sea air that changes your perspective or the lively North Laine that buzzes day and night,
I am sure that Brighton & Hove has got that special something that will inspire.
I wish you every success with your conference and hope you have a long and enjoyable stay.

Councillor Lynda Hyde
Mayor of the City of Brighton & Hoveiii

welcome to brighton & hove
Dear Delegates,

This 2015 conference series, organized in four separate events over two weeks, welcomes more than 800 participants
representing more than fifty countries in an international, intercultural and interdisciplinary celebration.
Since 2009, IAFOR has promoted and facilitated research synergies and partnerships between individuals and institutions in, andbetween Asian countries, and between Asian countries and the outside world.This function as a network hub has seen IAFOR
grow to develop partnerships with many of the world’s foremost institutions of learning, and this event is is strongly supportedby this global partnership, and includes such institutions as Waseda University (Japan), Birkbeck University of London (UK),The
National Institute of Education (Singapore),The National University of Tainan (Taiwan), Lincoln University (UK), the Hong Kong
Institute of Education (HKSAR), Auburn University (USA),Virginia Tech (USA), Monash University (Australia), Lehigh University(USA), NorthWestern University (USA), Barcelona University (Spain), and most recently Moscow State University (Russia).
IAFOR has built a tradition of hosting truly international, intercultural and interdisciplinary conferences. People working in agreat range of cultures, contexts, and academic areas come together to share their perspectives on common human issues.
The result is invariably a unique experience of learning and sharing and making new contacts for future collaboration, and I do
expect us to continue in this tradition.
This conference, the first in a series of four, will bring together scholars and practitioners covering Education, Technology in
the Classroom, and Language Learning, and we hope that you will enjoy the rich and diverse program over the next few days
together.
If you enjoy this event, then I would encourage you to explore other IAFOR conferences, including announced events in the
UK, Japan, Dubai, and Hawaii in 2015 and early 2016, and with events in Boston, Barcelona and Singapore in the planning stages
for later in 2016 and 2017.
I would like to thank the conference chairs and the keynote and featured speakers, as well as each and every delegate, from
wherever you have come, and I look forward to meeting you all.

Panel Chair: Linda Morrice, University of Sussex, UK
Kerry Harman, Birkbeck, University of London, UK
David Wolff, University of Brighton, UK
Tamsin Hinton-Smith, University of Sussex, UK
Globalisation is giving rise to ever more complex social, ethnic and cultural diversity. Such diversity, along with therapidity of change across different spheres, pose particular challenges for how we think about education, and what weunderstand its role and purposes to be as we move through the early decades of the twenty first century. Growing
inequalities, both globally and locally, invite new responses to the communities we wish to engage with, and intensify
the need to address issues of social marginalisation and unequal power relations. In different ways the speakers in thisopening panel are concerned with how education can contribute to greater equality, and how we can begin to imagine
more democratic and empowering spaces in education. Fergal Finnegan and Kerry Harman focus on the principles
and practices underpinning education to explore how education might be reconceptualised to give rise to moredemocratic and socially just practices and spaces. Drawing on his experience of community-university partnerships
David Wolff will consider ‘what works’, and how the creation of partnership spaces can address inequalities. Finally,
Tamsin Hinton-Smith takes a marginalised community - Roma students in Higher Education - as her starting point.
Through understandings of embodied experience, agency and resilience, opportunities and challenges for participation
are explored.

Dr. Fergal Finnegan is from Dublin, Ireland and was educated in Trinity College Dublin and Maynooth University. He
is the Director of the Higher Diploma course in Further Education and a Lecturer in the Department of Adult andCommunity Education at Maynooth University. He worked as a community educator in Dublin’s inner city with a wide
range of student groups before he became an lecturer. These experiences as practitioner have strongly informed hisacademic research on inequality and non-traditional students in higher education. Fergal has conducted extensive
mixed methods and biographical research on non-traditional student experience both in Ireland and across Europe
and is an editor of a recent book from Routledge entitled Student Voices on inequalities in European Higher Education:
Challenges for Policy and Practice in a Time of Change. Other research interests include biographical research, learningtheory, the nature of reflexivity and the role of recognition in teaching and learning. Fergal currently teaches thephilosophy of education and learning theory on a range postgraduate courses in Maynooth. He also teaches andwrites about education in relation to state formation, political economy and social movements.
Keynote Presentation: ‘Come build in the empty house’: Reimagining democracy and education in a time of change
We live in a period of transition and profound crisis marked by widening inequalities and looming ecological threats. It
seems particularly acute because over the past four decades here has also been a winnowing of the social imagination.
To paraphrase Frederic Jameson for many people it has become easier to imagine mass catastrophe than envisage thepossibility of progressive change. This distinct type of cultural exhaustion and sense of paralysis that accompanies it is, I
think, directly linked to the widespread perception of a democratic ‘deficit’. In Europe and further afield there is crisis inlegitimacy in mainstream political institutions because there seems to be so little popular control over resources, wealthand decision making. It is not at all coincidental that we have also seen in recent decades the hollowing out of establishededucational ideals and significant shifts in the organization and dominant understanding of the purpose of mass education.
The first part of the paper will explore these changes, ask why this has occurred and what this might indicate about therelationship between democracy and education and the various way this relationship is envisaged, shaped and acted upon.
In the second part of the paper I will go beyond the terrain of critique and move onto a landscape of possibility. I will
outline why I believe we need, as researchers and practitioners, to now take the work of reimagining and conceptualizing
the possibilities for education for democracy and democratic education seriously. I will make the case that technologicalchange and new political and cultural formations have opened up the possibility of novel and empowering forms ofreflexive action. This has, I think, profound implications for how we think about education. In the light of this I want to
ask what can be done, and what is being done, to elaborate new principles and practices of democratic educationthat can fully respond to the challenges, startling disjunctions and opportunities of our time. The paper will conclude
by identifying what I believe are some of the fundamental aspects of democratic education in a time of change.

Featured Panel Presentation: Exploring opportunities in internationally mobile higher education - Intersections ofgender and HE experience for Roma students.
Higher education participation has transformative potential for the empowerment of both individuals and communities,
and international mobility is heralded as a key site for engagement with the opportunities of the contemporary
HE landscape. Yet while the positive potential of such developments is emphasised (e.g. Council of the European
Union 2009), they also create new spaces of marginalisation. Such inequalities and exclusions operate along lines of
embodied experience including gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and intersections between these. Focusing on intersectionsof gender and social marginalisation, this paper explores how opportunities to engage with internationally mobile
subject (Lynch 2009), are mediated by lived experience, and how these converge with assumptions around the ideal
mobile student. The discussion is presented in the context of early findings from the first wave of fieldwork in a 3 year
project exploring opportunities for internationally mobile HE participation by participants from socially marginalised
groups, focusing on the experience of Roma students. The discussion addresses the role of relevant policies andpractices, identifying areas of challenge to participation, and individual and collective strategies in responses to these,
while seeking to problematise HE cultures that inhibit participation by diverse constituents, rather than the individuals
or communities engaging with them.

Featured Panel Presentation: Challenging academic practices - How might we enact equality?
Academics often tend to look at others and provide commentary on how others might change rather than looking
in their own backyard. Some might even argue that this is the essence of academic activity i.e. that academics provide
expertise in their area of speciality in order to contribute to social progress and development. Drawing on Ranciere’s
concepts of an equality of intelligence and the pedagogical myth I approach the conference topic from a slightly
different angle and ask: what challenges and changes might be required in academic communities in higher education
to enable empowerment and social change? What might a decoupling of the often taken for granted relationshipbetween knowledge and emancipation open up in terms of the organisation of Higher education? And how mightchanging our academic practices contribute to equality and social change?

Keynote Presentation: When will we ever learn? Ten great educators and their legacy
This presentation will survey the work of ten great educators, some of whom have been prestigious and highly
influential innovators, such as Rudolf Steiner and Paulo Freire, while others, such as Sylvia Ashton-Warner andDavid Horsburgh were isolated, passionate experimenters, whose pioneering work is relatively little known.
An attempt shall be made to winnow out the essential beliefs and principles which animated their life work,
so as to compare what they were advocating in education then, with what effectively counts as education
today. Is there any overlap? Will we ever learn the lessons they were trying to teach? What examples of an
enduring commitment to their principles can be cited which inspire some hope for the future of education?

Keynote Presentation: Only connect - seven strategies for ensuring teacher-student communication in theclassroom
Does the conventional classroom, with a teacher and students sitting at desks, have any place in modern learning? Has
technology rendered the normal learning environment redundant? It would seem not, as teachers and students allover the world are still required to turn up at a particular time and place and engage with each other in some way.
However, in classrooms where technology is available, has this engagement changed radically? And what about thestudents’ own technology? Does this make a difference to the classroom experience, or are there some traditional
aspects of teaching/learning that should remain the same?

commissioned by Channel 4. For many years, Ken was artistic director of the English Teaching Theatre, a company
which toured the world performing stage-shows for learners of English.

This talk will show how the vital link between teacher and students can be maintained, in a hi-tech classroom or in asituation where the students themselves have sophisticated personal technology.
Futher Background Information
This year, I have attended a number of edutech presentations about how technology is transforming the lives ofteachers and students. There is no question that this is true, even taking into account the realities of the digital
divide. However, two presenter comments made me pause to think. One was the rather dramatic observation thattechnology would ‘blow down the walls’ of the old-fashioned classroom.The other was that traditional classrooms witha teacher and students at desks ‘would soon be extinct’.
In my opinion, such observations about education are quite unhelpful.

Keynote Presentation

It occurred to me that most people attending those talks work in a system which requires the teacher and students toturn up at an agreed time and place and hopefully that learning will take place while they are together, not just before Saturday, July 4, 2015
the students arrive and after they leave.

10:45-11:45

I then had a conversation with a 19-year-old student, who told me how things had changed when his school introduced
desk-top computers for everyone. He was pleased that the class now had access to so much more information and Renaissance Suitethat more learning was self-generated. However, he also noticed a sudden lack of communication between the classand some (not all) of his teachers.
This led me to think that we need to establish some guidelines that help ensure that the link between the teacher
and the class is not lost. After all, the teacher is there for a reason, and her expertise is worth something. This talk will
present ideas to revive teacher-student communication in the edutech age.

peer mentorship and responsive pedagogy in school and post-secondary classrooms. Michele draws upon the learningsciences in studying the design of participatory learning environments that sponsor knowledge building, intellectual
engagement and assessment as learning..
Abstract: In this presentation we will explore, through examples and discussion, the impact for social change of
emerging notions of design on design practice.
We are convinced that instructional designers not only play important roles in the design and development of
instructional products, but also act as change agents in changing the way traditional colleges and universities implement
their missions in communities. They can work as co-creators to help clients think more critically about the needs of alllearners, issues of access, social and cultural implications of information technologies; alternative learning environments
and related policy development. Actively helping to shape agendas for change reflects design as political act.
Many design professions are increasingly critical of normative assumptions and practices that have effectively marginalized
communities. Alternative design scholarship and practices increasingly offer designers a lens through which we can“understand how unequal power relations are embodied in, and result from, mainstream design practice and products”(Nieusma, 2004, 13). The workplace, and community space converge they become places of protracted struggle,
concerned with relationships, challenged by multiple and sometimes conflicting voices. In the end, knowledge is cocreated, negotiated and reciprocal. For example, Universal Design, borrowed originally from architecture, exemplifies
design as political social action. Alternative design thinking intersects in sociocultural concerns about human diversity,
social inclusion, ethical practice, authority, sustainability and multivocality.

Abstract: The aim of the article is to illustrate the important role that parents can play in the development of theeducation of learners with Down syndrome (DS). A literature review was done to obtain background informationon the concept DS and on the history and possibilities of education for learners with DS, as well as on the roleof the parent in the management of the education of learners with DS. A qualitative case study, focusing on the
narrative approach was implemented to illustrate the management of the educational opportunities and thus, the selfactualisation of all learners with DS. The educational history of an academically successful girl with DS was followed inorder to establish what lay behind her success. From the findings it can be deduced that parents and educators shouldcollaborate to enhance the educational opportunities of learners with DS. The contribution this article makes is toconvey to educators and parents the important role they can play in the advancement of the education of learners
with DS, as a possible way to give these learners a better chance to live a meaningful life. The assumption is that if
learners with DS receive optimal stimulation and encouragement from their parents and teachers in collaboration
with one another, from an early age, their educational skills and self-actualisation will benefit to a large extent. This will
improve their opportunities to become valued human beings.

Abstract: With this presentation, an Afrikaans speaking woman of 32 will inform the audience in English how she grewup as a girl with Down syndrome in South Africa. She will explain how her determination to make the best if her
situation helped her to cope with her disability and how she, with the help of her parents, handled the preconceived
ideas of the people of her time.
She will illustrate how a positive outlook on life helped her to achieve. She made the words and the philosophy of
Nelson Mandela “you are the master of your destiny and you are the captain of your soul”, her own life philosophy.
She truly believes that one must focus on what you have and be proud of who you are. One should never hide behindcircumstances and one must work hard to make the best of who you are. You only excel when you don’t use theexcuses you have. She questions the fact that so many like her are being aborted and she gives a voice to the voicelessin this regard.
Sheri Brynard gives meaning to her life by trying to change people’s perceptions about people with Down syndrome
in South Africa and abroad. She also tries to help the so called normal people who listen to her to focus on the positive
things in their own lives.
Sheri is proud to be who she is, a girl with Down syndrome.

IAFORThe International Academic Forum
Academic Vision and Mission“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The vision of IAFOR grew out of the perceived need to fill a vacuum in the communication and exchange activities of the academic
world. Its mission arose out of examining that space and investigating why it existed. The vacuum existed because of the lack ofopportunity for serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the global business community, and practitioners
in the fields of human endeavor that linked these groups together. In the field of education, for example, we have academic theorists,
educational managers (political decision-makers and organizational directors) and classroom teachers with their support staff in IT,
library work, exchange programs, and specialist fields. But how often do they have the opportunity to interact?
Moving beyond one particular field, larger questions arise. What function should universities prioritize in the 21st century? What
do businesses see as their contribution to social and global well being? How can people on the ground, trying to implement
improvements that will transform human life, best be supported? And perhaps above all, what are the agendas that will drive
mechanisms to enable these groups to interact effectively.
One piece of distilled thought that came from early exchanges at one of our conferences was the recognition that some of therhetoric of concern about the problems of developing nations was perhaps over-focused on the term “poverty” because it can be
defined only in a relative way. “Hunger” was put forward as being more immediate and itself a contributory factor to poverty, rather
than the other way round. One key to the hunger issue could be the provision of safe drinking water, or water for irrigation in somecontexts, while flood management might be necessary elsewhere. These, in and by themselves become valuable only insofar as they
help to relieve hunger in specific contexts.
IAFOR is affording opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. The base is Kansai, Japan’s great commercial and manufacturing hub,
one symbol of the emerging Pacific economy that is already eclipsing the long dominant Atlantic zone. Our conferences present
those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience. First of all, it encourages interdisciplinary activity to be expanded.
Depending on the field, this can face varying degrees of difficulty, ranging from discouragement to downright prohibition. Those
overly dependent on fixed academic structures often see lateral thinking as a threat. None of these negatives apply in IAFOR. Its
purpose is to generate new approaches that cross any disciplinary lines. The principle employed is to let the imagination permit
intuitive responses to questions. There are no panels of critics. There are simply people who want to listen and reflect. The model ofacademic work as potholing is replaced by the metaphor of mountaineering. While respecting the need for solid and well-founded
academic work, we feel the need to go beyond it from time to time to discover fresh approaches to old questions.
Secondly, it facilitates the heightening of intercultural awareness. Again, we encourage innovation through cross-cultural perception.
Cultural roots influence people in their attitudes more than most would realize or admit. The need to see and internalize insights
gained from other viewpoints is met by a process of steady illumination.
Thirdly, it promotes the broadening of international exchange. We may live in a globalized world, but in reality parochialism still holds
sway. The collapse of the U.S.S.R and the break-up of Yugoslavia led to the re-establishment of numerous former countries. While
this may be desirable for the peoples concerned, it merely adds to the world’s cultural confusion. Exchange leads to explanation andthat helps the growth of intercultural awareness.
IAFOR makes all of these developments possible in one gathering. Our conferences are not a substitute for specialist conferences.
We intend our events to be an alternative that functions as a balance or even a corrective to the extreme tendencies that can arise
from more narrowly defined research parameters. In short, IAFOR is promoting and facilitating a new multifaceted approach to oneof the core issues of our time, namely globalization and its many forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts acrossthe worlds of business, and academia, along with its impact on societies and institutions is one of the driving forces that has given
the organization its momentum, and is making it a pioneer in this global age.

IAFOR Journals
The International Academic Forum’s Journals conform to the highest academic standards ofinternational peer review, and are published in accordance with the IAFOR publishing commitment
to make all of our published materials available online.
Journals FAQ

IAFOR’s Open AccessPublishing Committment
IAFOR is committed to providing
ALL of its publications in online form
for no fee.
Researchers and scholars, regardlessof institutional affiliation and status,
can access our academic journals,
monographs, magazine, conferencematerials and special publications forno charge, wherever there is internet
access.
IAFOR will never ask authors tocontribute towards publication costs,
or engage in other such publishingpractices which we believe undermine
academic independence and integrity.

How are journal editors appointed?
Journal Editors are appointed by the International Academic Forum’s leadership, under the guidanceof the Chairman of the International Advisory Board. The term of appointment is for one issue, tobe renewed by mutual consent.
How do we ensure academic integrity?
Once appointed, the editor is free to appoint his or her own editorial team and advisory members.
All papers published in the journal have been subjected to the rigorous and accepted processesof academic peer review. Neither editors nor members of the editorial team are remunerated fortheir work. Authors will never be asked to “contribute” towards publication costs.
How are papers selected?
Journal Editors may accept papers through an open call, and proposed articles may be sent directly
to the respective editors. A small number of papers from the associated IAFOR conference
proceedings may also be selected by the journal editor(s) for reworking and revising subject tonormal processes of review. It is expected that between 5 and 10 percent of papers included inany given conference proceedings will be developed for inclusion in the associated conference
journal.
How are IAFOR Journals related to IAFOR conferences?
IAFOR’s journals reflect the interdisciplinary and international nature of our conferences andare organized thematically. Papers included in the associated conference proceedings may beconsidered for reworking by the editor(s), and would then be subjected to the same processes ofpeer review as papers submitted by other means.
Visit the IAFOR website for further information - www.iafor.org/journals

IAFOR Keynotes
The IAFOR Keynotes Series is a collection of keynote addresses, or associated papers given at
our conferences. Presented as a part of the open research archive, the Keynotes series provides
an example of the range and quality of speakers at IAFOR events. These keynotes are lightly
reworked, and contain references, but are otherwise true to the original address. Many can also
be seen in video format on our YouTube page. Whether you were present at the conferenceor not, the keynotes are thoughtful addresses by senior academics, the content of which may
help your research.

Special Series & Monographs
The International Academic Forum is publishing a number of special
monographs in print and online form. One such publication is aselection of haiku from the Annual Vladimir Devidé Haiku Award.
Eye Magazine
Through Eye Magazine, the International Academic Forum’s own inhouse e-magazine publication, we hope to enlighten you to various views
and opinions of our contributors, many of whom have presented fullresearch papers at our various conferences.
