KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Marion Hopfgartner

Speaker, Educationalist and Writer on Educational & the TLI-Paedagogics, Vienna,

Austria

Marion Hopfgartner is a Speaker, Author, Education and Life Transformer and Entrepreneur.

Her business career started at the age of 19, after her degree as an educator and preschool

teacher – when she led a Day-Care-Institution. Very soon, she moved up the career in Personnel

Management working in a social Non-for-Profit Association that had 1400 employees. This was

possible by having a fantastic Mentor on her side, who guided her step by step.

Already at the age of 22, she was a Board Member of a Non-for-Profit LLC. As one of the Board

Members – she focused on Personnel Management and on Social Projects. At that time, she also

started her career as an Adult-Trainer and Speaker – working together with a local Institution in

holistic health care.

At the age of 30 – she left these businesses behind and started to work internationally. This

Mentor invited her to build up an International Network of Organizations in the field of

Alternative Health Care and Training. Together with a team, they developed the training material,

training schedules organizational structure, standardizing procedures; they set up operating

Boards and trained more than 350 Instructors internationally. For more than 7 years she worked

hand in hand to grow these international organizations.

As her Personal Assistant – Marion Hopfgartner also learned all basic needs to establish not only

a small business but an International Network of Organizations. Since her Coach died in March

2016 and the different Boards took over the leading function of the individual organizations –

she now focuses back on growing her own Companies. In a speed time of 4 months, she got them

set for International Work and grew an incredibly successful team.

While working in this network of organizations – she constantly received requests to mentor

educational institutions. As consultant and coach, she upgraded many in different areas,

restructured their way of operation, but also started to implement modern education in some of

these institutions. While she was heavily focused on working with her Coach – she still also

established many successes in this area.

Now, together with her team in her Educational Consultancy focus more and more on consulting

educational institutions and small businesses all over the world. They also focus on creating

meaningful new ways in Training, Teaching and Modern Education.

Dictogloss: A Learner-Centered Technique to Focus on Grammar in a Meaningful Context

Berrin Karasac

Department of English, School of Foreign Languages, Anadolu University, Eskiayhir, Turkey

Abstract

Many students have difficulty about producing sentences with the grammar they learn although

they have no problem doing filling in the blank exercises or multiple-choice tasks. It is usually the

result of teacher-centered grammar teaching in limited and isolated bits. Dictogloss is a teaching

technique which provides a classroom environment where all students are actively involved and

collaborate in a meaningful task which help them notice what they need to learn. They are to

reproduce a text focusing on grammar in a meaningful context. It promises both developing

language accuracy and learner autonomy.

In this study, the aim is to analyze the effectiveness of dictogloss technique taking into consideration

its theoretical and practical implications on teaching and learning. I teach an hour with dictogloss

technique to three different pre-intermediate groups and I get feedback from them through a ten-

question survey.

How to Use Pinterest for Promoting Productive Skills in EFL Classrooms

Zerrin Gunaydin

Department of English, School of Foreign Languages, Anadolu University, Eskisehir, Turkey

Abstract

Learner autonomy and teaching productive skills are two of the biggest challenges ELT

practitioners face to cover maximum outcome in a minimum time. Various methods and techniques

are suggested for the most effective results, yet little has been proposed for an effective medium.

Teenagers and young adults, who are the majority of English learners, spend a significant part of

their time on the Internet, especially on social networking sites. Pinterest is one of the most popular

social networking sites that can easily be adapted for EFL classrooms. It allows users to share and

discover interests by posting/pinning images on boards. One can create image collections under

various categories such as hobbies, events, holidays, places, food, etc. This makes it a priceless tool

for English learners to learn new vocabulary and practice speaking and writing in the most

effective and motivating way. This study suggests how to use Pinterest for promoting productive

skills in EFL classrooms in a way that makes students willing to take these skills even outside the

classroom autonomously.

Abstract

The development of a Diploma for Business and Information Administration is intended to provide

well-trained administrative assistants and office managers with critical business, information and

office management skills. The focus of this research project is the development of the Information

Administration three year course to meet the demands of business competitiveness in the context of

globalization. The problem being investigated is whether the knowledge base of the Information

Administration course meets the challenges of the information age and a competitive global

economy. The research on which this paper is based had the following objectives: 1) to determine

the knowledge base of the Information Administration course; and 2) to determine the effectiveness

of the Information Administration course in meeting the demands of the competitive workplace.

The Semantic dimension of Legitimation Code Theory was utilised and a multi-method research

design employed to include the views of graduates, employers, academics and students. The findings

show that the development of the Information Administration course took into account the requests

from all the stakeholders to better equip students for the globalized workplace. The course places

considerable emphasis on new computer applications required in business and management

environments. The challenges confronting Information Administration lecturers include large

classes, the entry students’ lack of computer practice knowledge and skills, the lack of adequate

resources for the practical programme, and the fact that computer technology is an ever-changing

field of study. The continuously changing field of information computer technology requires that

higher education researchers undertake further research in order to remain up-to-date to prepare

students for the dynamic workplace.

Abstract

This paper presents the method to improve the students performance in academics. Teachers plays

vital role in academic performance of the students. Performance index is universal measure of

academic performance in undergraduate education in India. Performance indices are used in

decision making throughout the academic institutions, reflecting the decisions on students’ and

faculty academic success .

The aggregation tool developed by Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology is used to evaluate the

performance of the students and the faculty. To evaluate the performance of the student, university

assessment is considered. This tool has evolved through different stages started from data gathering

towards consolidated calculations. Data collection is made through google sheets. Faculty are

responsible to enter the data in the sheets , based on that further calculations are made. The tool

works at deaprtment level and head of the department is able to consolidate the data. The form of

data required for this tool is given below:

Becoming an Inclusive Practitioner: Trainees Experiences of Inclusive Practices During Teaching

Practice

William Nketsia

School of Education,Western Sydney University, Sydney, Australia

Abstract

Teaching practice has been found to significantly improve trainees’ knowledge and understanding

of inclusive teaching practices and special educational needs (SEN). This study sought to determine

trainees’ experiences of inclusive practices during teaching practice. A survey of 171 final year

trainees, 57 college supervisors and 77 school-based mentors from three of the 38 public colleges of

education in Ghana revealed that the teaching practice does not promote enough inclusive practical

training and the mentors do not model enough inclusive practices for trainees. The study found

infinitesimal co-teaching practices among trainees and the entire teaching practice had a significant

impact on only minority of trainees’ beliefs and attitudes towards pupils with SEN. The

implications of the findings for the improvement of teaching practice to effectively train teachers in

areas of SEN and inclusive education in the colleges of education were discussed.

was developed program on Surdoinformatics for deaf students studying orthopedic dentistry at

university which was intended to form of general cultural and professional competencies,

strengthen learning motivation, and facilitate their adaptation in the social environment. For the

formation of communicative skills required in the work process, training for the deaf students was

conducted together with hearing students. The authors of the program tried to be guided not only

by the existing limitations of this category of students, but also to take into account their abilities

and potential. The aim was to create favorable conditions for their professional and personal

growth. The goals of training were achieved in several stages, with the gradual complication of

learning tasks. The use of computer equipment, the variety of offered types of training activities

increased the interest of students in the studied subject, gave the learning process positive

emotional colouring, developed creativity of students, reduced fear in problem situations, formed

communicative culture, developed a reflection, raised opportunities for self-realization, self-

knowledge, increased activity of students. Working on the computer, students acquired the skills to

formalize and structure information, disappeared the feeling of discrimination in communicating

with hearing students. This was facilitated by multimodal presentation of information at a

convenient pace for each student, computer simulation of manual operations, traditional classroom

and distance learning, the presence of feedback to the coach. The developed didactic materials take

into account the zone of proximal development of each student. Set of computer tests allow to assess

their knowledge, skills and performance potential.

A Clear and Present Trust: Distance Learning Assessment and the Academia Perspective

Khaled K. M. Alhaw

Social/Education, Al Sahel Association for Development, Palestine

Abstract

Higher Education systems are currently experiencing a new challenge as distance learning through

the internet seems to attract the interest of worldwide prospective students. The Massive Open

Online Courses (MOOCs) are the frontrunners of this online massive approach to formal education

but a concern that is present, endangering their success, is the reliability of assessment and grading

of such courses. This affects the interest and motivation of the students on such educational systems

when they have education as the leitmotif for a profession. As society widely accepts orthodox

Academia as the paradigm of sound assessment, especially regarding professional areas such as

Medicine or Engineering, the perspective of the Academia should influence the societal trust on the

online grading methodologies. A recent study explored the general perception of orthodox

Academia regarding the most common online grading methodologies used in MOOCs and the

‘comfort zone’ of including such methodologies on orthodox courses. Departing from those results,

this work explores how trustworthy those online methodologies are to Medical and Biomedical

Professors from orthodox Academia, in which circumstances would they be willing to use such

methods and the constraints they consider mandatory in order to assure the soundness of

evaluation of their students, the recognition of the institution as valid evaluator, and the social

acceptance of future medical and biomedical professionals.

questionnaires were further administered to 390 former and current head teachers and 4 Directors

of Education. The findings of the study revealed that in the past basic school head teachers were

mostly selected and appointed based on long service and experiences, while few became head

teachers because of their religious affiliation. Currently, the study established that although long

service and religious affiliation still remain a factor, however, academic qualification, leadership

Abstract

Introduction

The HIV virus is currently destroying all facets of African life. It therefore is imperative that a new

holistic form of health education and accessible treatment be implemented in African public health

policy which improves dissemination of prevention and treatment programs, while maintaining the

cultural infrastructure.

Drawing on government and NGO reports, as well as other documentary sources, this paper

examines the nature of current efforts and the state of health care practices in Africa.

I review access to modern health care and factors which inhibit local utilization of these resources,

as well as traditional African beliefs about medicine, disease, and healthcare. This review indicates

that a collaboration of western and traditional medical care and philosophy can help slow the

spread of HIV in Africa.

Conclusion

This paper encourages the acceptance and financial support of traditional health practitioners in

this effort owing to their accessibility and affordability and their cultural compatibility with the

community.

Abstract

Many existing studies conducted in Taiwan or other countries are focused on development and

applications of teaching methods, teaching materials, and teaching theories. However, very few are

focused on learning outcome-oriented course design, especially concerning nursing education. The

design and implementation of nursing innovation education are important issues that could lead to

enhancements of learners’ independent creativity. Therefore, in this study a new outcome-oriented

nursing innovation course and strategies for intervention would be developed and implemented to a

sample of nursing students. The nursing students will experience learning activities such as creative

nursing practice, and their learning outcome would be assessed. The first year of this study would

be focused on the following objectives: 1. Plan learning outcomes indicators of the nursing

innovation curriculum (including learning goal, teaching content, teaching strategies, group

discussion and curriculum measurement). 2. Plan and conduct expert validity of multivariate

assessment tools in nursing innovation. The result of first year of the study was established the

education indicators of outcome-oriented nursing innovation course among 18-week course. The

result showed weekly following learning goal, teaching content, teaching strategies, group

discussion and curriculum measurement, using strategies of presentation, video watching and

group discussion in order to made students to perceive and learn innovative nursing skills. Lastly,

this study planned and conducted expert validity analysis of a series of multi-assessment tools using

on outcome-oriented nursing innovation course, including questionnaire of demographic of

students, students’ cognitive load, students’ cognitive processes associated with creativity, students’

learning attitude, students’ learning outcome, and creative production. These assessment tools will

be used in innovation curriculum and related research in future.

African Literature as a weapon against colonialism: Analysis of selected works of Chinua Achebe of

Nigeria

Dr. Mohammed Marzuq Abubakari

Center of Languages, University of Applied Management, Accra, Ghana

Abstract

Decades after independence, many African countries are still nursing the wounds of colonialism.

The effects of this unfortunate situation are threats of dictatorship, economic stagnation, and bad

governance on the continent. An amalgamation of different forces joined hands in the fight to

liberate Africa from colonial dominance. Undeniably, among these forces were African writers who

used their power of literary creativity to complement the onslaught on colonialism. This Paper

examines the role of African Literature in the anti-colonial struggle. In a form of analytics, the

Paper uses a qualitative approach with selected works of Chinua Achebe as a sample. In view of the

nature of the analysis, the purposive sampling technique is adopted. The objective is to remind

ourselves of the need to learn a bitter lesson from our past and to inspire contemporary African

writers to confront the threats of post-colonial dictatorship on the continent. After a review of

related literature and content analysis of the sampled works, the Paper finds that the brain power

exhibited by the author was as effective as the guns of combatants in the anti-colonial war in Congo

and the rehtorics of political activists on the platforms which were mounted as part of the strategies

to liberate Africa from the shackles of colonialism. The Paper concludes that African Literature

really served as a weapon in the fight to dismantle colonialism. Among other things, the Paper

recommends periodic national and continental conversations to rekindle the spirit of African

Literature and to groom young African writers to become ambassadors of democracy and

prosperity on the continent.

Institute of Education and Research, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan

Abstract

Favoritism is the deed of favoring an individual or group over others who have similar rights. It is a

common practice in most of the educational institutes. This study attempted to provide an insight

by measuring the effect of teachers’ favoritism on academic sabotage in Pakistan. This correlational

study based on a survey method. A sample of 450 students was selected from the teacher education

institute of Pakistan by using simple random sampling technique. Favoritism was measured via

scale developed by Aydogan (2008) comprised of 28 items which were divided into four factors:

nature of preference, violation of rules, students’ assessment and terms of communication as well as

the academic sabotage was measured through the scale of nine (9) items developed by Harris and

Ogbonna’s in 2006. The items of both scales were adjusted to fit in the educational context of

Pakistan. Descriptive and inferential statistics (t-test, ANOVA, pearson correlation & regression

analysis) were applied to analyze the data. As a result of the study carried out, it was determined

that the teachers’ favoritism was at high level. There was no significant difference in perceptions of

students in terms of gender and age. However, a significant difference was found in the perception

of students regarding their marital status. Moreover, a positive and medium level relation was

determined between favoritism and academic sabotage. It was also concluded that teachers’

favoritism is a significant predictor of academic sabotage. Based on the findings of the study, it is

suggested that policy makers should develop legislation to prevent favoritism in order to make

educational institutes more effective, transparent and productive for the future of nation.

Abstract

Though reading is one of the most important academic tasks encountered by students (Bharutham,

2012), research carried out in the field demonstrates that only a small proportion of students read

for learning purposes (Clump, Bauer, & Breadly, 2004). Algerian students are no exception. This

presentation offers findings from a study that investigated reluctance to read among a group of 30

Master students from the English department at the University of Annaba in Algeria. The method

adopted to examine the students’ perceptions of reading and their unwillingness to read is a

questionnaire extracted from the literature and modified for the purpose of the study. The results

reveal that the students are disinclined to read at university level for a number of reasons related to

themselves as learners, learning atmosphere, teachers and teaching, environmental factors, etc.

This presentation also underlines some pedagogical implications that might be relevant to support

students to read for learning.

Abstract

This study investigates beliefs regarding the nature of mathematics, and teaching and learning

mathematics during transition from pre-service to in-service mathematics teacher. A longitudinal

phenomenological approach was adopted to observe, describe, and analyze the change in the

phenomena in depth. Participants of the study are seven elementary mathematics teachers who

were interviewed as a senior student in teacher education program and in the initial years of

teaching. Data were analyzed by creating their cognitive maps. Results showed that there is no

major change in participants’ beliefs. However, the most of participants stated that they cannot

teach mathematics in their classroom as they believed because of some pedagogical factors such as

their insufficient knowledge of effective mathematics teaching and some contextual factors such as

inadequate instructional time, students’ beliefs regarding mathematics, and expectations of

colleagues, school administrators, and students’ parents.

Abstract

Western society is moving towards an experience society, where experiences are becoming more

important. Today’s consumers are not satisfied with merely a cup of coffee or a haircut. Elements

such as the physical environment, the furniture, the design and atmosphere, are just a few examples

of what affects the complete experience. As part of a development with an increased demand of

experiences, Higher education institutions are becoming arenas where experiences are expected to

be delivered. Today’s students are no longer merely interested in passive lectures focused on

listening and learning, rather they seek activities where they can be engaged and entertained.

Viewing educational institutions as providers of e.g. goods and services, includes the provision of

study programmes, teaching, examination, digital learning management systems and more.

However, it is not given that offering these goods and services are enough to meet the demands of

informed, empowered and dialogue-seeking students. Perhaps more attention can be given to

providing activities that entail co-creation experiences. The aim of this article is to examine the

transition and adaption of higher education to the experience society. The objective is to discuss

how experiences can enhance basis for new ways of conducting lectures. This theoretical paper

reviews literature on the experience economy, and our study discusses the underlying dimensions of

experiencing and co-creation experiences. The study raises questions concerning how these

dimensions can be used in the lecture hall. The study thus contributes to raise the discussion of

whether experiential elements can establish a foundation for a new practice in higher education.

Moreover, the study contributes to a conceptual clarification of how experience economy concepts

are transferrable to an educational sphere.
