International Conference on Affective Education

December 13th, 2022

Join us in Taipei and Online

Affective education has become part of a global reflection, as evident in the 'strive to harness the emotional forces that drive us forward to a positive end' (The OECD Forum Network, 2019). In addition, recent education reform efforts in East Asian countries have moved beyond the conventional emphasis on knowledge and skills and incorporated elements in the affective domains. The affective domains include all the warm aspects of learning, including and not limited to:

  • social and emotional development

  • positivity psychology, well-being, happiness

  • motivation, feelings, anxiety, attitudes, values,

  • interpersonal skills, self-regulation learning, social-regulation

From the perspective of culture, at the country level, achievement in school subjects (e.g., mathematics, science, and reading) does not have a corresponding affective outcome (e.g., interest in mathematics). This is different from the result of the student level: consistent positive relationships between achievement and affective outcomes, as shown in international achievement studies like PISA and TIMSS. The contradictory findings deserve discussion and collaboration from scholars from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Our aim, therefore, is to place affective issues into the research agenda and affective concerns into national curricula as well as formal and informal learning (including ICT-infused extended learning) to develop well-being, happiness, and social/emotional development for all education stakeholders.

Overview

The International Conference on Affective Education will be held in National Chengchi University, Taiwan (both in-person and online participation are available) on Tuesday, Dec. 13th. 2022.

The conference aims to bring together academic scholars, researchers, and practitioners to share their research and insights on all aspects of affective education. It also provides a platform to promote multidisciplinary dialogue on the most recent trends, concerns, challenges, and solutions in affective issues.

Call for Papers

The Organizing Committee of the International Conference on Affective Education is calling for abstract submissions of original and unpublished research results in all areas of affective education. Abstract submission and presentation is free of charge.

Your abstract (maximum 250 words) will undergo double-blind peer review and the results will be returned to you within 2 to 3 weeks.

Please note that your personal information will be used for your official Letters of Acceptance, Proof of Participation and/or Presentation, and Conference Programs. Choose from the presentation format (either in-person oral or virtual pre-recorded presentations, or both). Due to time constraints, presenters may be asked to pre-record their presentations for asynchronous access. Upon acceptance of the abstract, you will receive an acceptance letter and ask for presenter registration.

Future publication opportunities. The next step is to publish full-text papers in different journals, a book, or a special issue of a journal on a related topic. The accepted papers presented at the conference will be invited to submit for likely formal publications after peer review. The Committee will discuss this with other members of the conference (including keynote speakers and advisors) and contact journal editors and/or publishers to promote affective education.
