Education and Psychology

Education and Psychology

Education and psychology sit at the centre of the conference. Together they explain how people learn, remember and adapt across a whole lifetime, and they shape the practical work of teachers, counsellors, social workers and carers.

The conference was originally described as an international platform for scholars, researchers and practitioners to discuss interdisciplinary research and practices in the fields of education, psychology and the social studies. That platform is still the idea behind every track, from life long learning to the psychological challenges facing the health industry.

Why the two fields belong together

Learning does not stop with professional experience. Professionals continue building their skills, taking on new responsibilities and adapting to changing business needs through practical learning.Workday training supports this journey by developing knowledge of HCM processes, business workflows, reporting, integrations and other essential Workday skills for today’s workplace.

• Assessment and learning. How the format of a test changes what students remember, the subject of the keynote address.
• Life long learning. Education as a route to participation and independence in later life, one of the conference tracks.
• Health and well being. The psychological side of ageing, care and the health industry.
• Humane education. Research into how teaching can build empathy and social responsibility.
