Submission Guidelines
Questions for Consideration
A number of questions, including (but not limited to) the following are raised as the guiding threads for this symposium:
• How can the teaching profession rise to the call in the SDGs towards the promotion of the idea and requirements to nurture shared values caring for our local and global, social and physical environment in recognition of our common humanity?
• How can the teaching profession and teachers in the framework of comparative education promote and uphold common values recognising our mutual dependence?
• What processes are taking place and/or can be envisioned to leverage the constructive impact of the education systems in different parts of the world during and post the Covid-19 pandemic?
• How can the technology be conceived as an effective tool that can help achieve the humanistic values and goals?
• What role can comparative education/educators/researchers play in protecting and fostering teachers’ freedoms when these are threatened?
• How can autonomous and critical thinking be applied in teaching and research to promote and sustain academic freedom?
• What cross-national comparisons of values education be conducted from the lower to higher levels of education systems?
• What are the implications for gender equity and values education as in many national contexts there is a gendered structure of the teaching profession characterised by a feminisation of the lower levels while the upper levels, especially in the universities, are dominated by the male teachers and researchers?
