CONFERENCE TITLE
Education in Crisis: Dispositions and Problem-Solving Strategies Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
BACKGROUND
As its contribution to the mounting knowledge production on issues in teaching and learning, the Society for Strategic Education Studies (S4SES) enjoins its membership and the general academic community to submit individual as well as panel proposals towards the fleshing out of the theme, Dispositions and Problem-Solving Strategies amid the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the educational crises faced by teachers, administrators, students, parents, families, colleagues, and other stakeholders in education in the Philippines and other settings. On the other hand, the pandemic also created spaces for initiatives and creative solutions to address the crises such as administrative concerns, pedagogical approaches, technological affordances, student engagement, and parental involvement. Such challenges have generated dispositions as forms of strategic responses, otherwise known as agency, from the aforementioned stakeholders. Mediated by historical, personal, social, political, and economic conditions, agency is the capacity of actors to critically and creatively respond to problematic situations.
DESCRIPTION
This conference creates a platform where various stakeholders in education in various contexts could engage in a conversation about their experiences and observations on the educational crises spawned by the pandemic. The conference strands fall under the theme “Dispositions and Problem-Solving Strategies amid the COVID-19 Pandemic.”
The strands include, but are not limited to, the following:
Administrative concerns (e.g. dropout rate of students; educational leadership; teacher recruitment, attrition, and burn-out; teaching internship/student-teacher deployment in practicum; educational policies in flexible teaching-learning modalities; quality assurance; public/private partnership; assessment of learning loss)
Pedagogical Approaches (e.g. quality of learning; cheating; redefinition of teaching; issues of individual/personal learning; teaching-learning and assessment practices; Alternative Learning System (ALS); challenges of the current flexible teaching-learning modalities, e.g., modular, online, blended, (a)synchronous, subject-area issues and challenges in the new normal; shadow education such as tutorials, and review services)
Technological Affordances (e.g. technology/facilities in learning; inequality in education/better access to good technology in learning; learning management systems; digital competence and digital literacy)
Student Engagement (e.g. uncertainty and apprehension going back to the new normal; mental health of learners; discipline, motivation, and time management; disability and the flexible teaching-learning modalities)
Parental Involvement (e.g. teacher-parent dynamics; school-home relationship; homeschooling; unschooling; affordability/ accessibility of education; gendered roles and stereotypes; overparenting; parental surveillance; parental (dis)engagement)

Education in Crisis: Dispositions and Problem-Solving Strategies Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
College of Education, Silliman University

As its contribution to the increasing knowledge production on issues in teaching and learning, the Society for Strategic Education Studies (S4SES) enjoins its membership and the general academic community to submit individual as well as panel proposals towards the fleshing out of the theme, Dispositions and Problem-Solving Strategies amid the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the educational crises faced by teachers, administrators, students, parents, families, colleagues, and other stakeholders in education in the Philippines and other settings. On the other hand, the pandemic also created spaces for initiatives and creative solutions to address the crises such as administrative concerns, pedagogical approaches, technological affordances, student engagement, and parental involvement. Such challenges have generated dispositions as forms of strategic responses, otherwise known as agency, from the aforementioned stakeholders. Mediated by historical, psychosocial, cultural, political, and economic conditions, agency is the capacity of actors to critically and creatively respond to problematic situations.
This conference creates a platform where various stakeholders in education in various contexts could engage in a conversation about their experiences and observations on the educational crises spawned by the pandemic.

learning modalities, e.g., modular, online, blended, (a)synchronous, subject-area issues and challenges in the new normal; shadow education such as tutorials, and review services)
