We live in a rapidly changing world where conflicts, environmental and economic issues are affecting us in many ways. How can we adapt our teaching to this changing world? What challenges do we need to consider in our roles as psychology teachers, and how can we best prepare students for the future? When resources are limited, evidence-based teaching methods are more important than ever to ensure that we use methods that we know work. New pedagogical and technological developments can lead to better teaching strategies and solutions.
The ESPLAT 2023 conference is a forum for sharing teaching and learning innovations and best practices in a changing world on the themes of
active learning methods
sustainable teaching
teaching for sustainability
inclusive teaching strategies
While the focus of the conference will be on these themes, contributions on other topics related to learning and teaching psychology are welcome.
