Higher Education Conference in Singapore (HECS) 2025
Description
Why Join HECS 2025?
HECS offers an open space for educators from the autonomous universities (AUs) in Singapore to exchange teaching and learning practices while continuing to explore emerging issues in higher education. This conference aims to help create communities of learners and educators who are invested in the advancement of higher education in Singapore.
Theme
HECS 2025 will focus on the theme “Building Relationships in Teaching and Learning”. We invite educators and education scholars to relook at the various kinds of relationships that underlie effective learning, or the kind of relationships that are built during the process of learning, or as a result of learning. In the face of a tech-heavy teaching and learning environment, a focus on the interpersonal and the intersubjective can be a way to integrate the technological and the human in teaching and learning.
Join us in engaging discussions on the vital relationships that shape teaching and learning, exploring how fostering interpersonal and intersubjective connections can turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Together, we will explore how these relationships can bridge the human and technological aspects of education, creating a stronger, more connected future for our students.
Sub-themes
We invite extended abstracts on the following sub-themes*. For illustration purposes, we listed a few non-exhaustive examples under each sub-theme:
