ASIA PACIFIC CONFERENCE ON CURRICULUM STUDIES AND INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNING

Curriculum Studies in a VUCAD² World:
Perspectives from the Asia Pacific Region

In a rapidly changing world marked by disruption and diversity, education must prepare learners to navigate complex global challenges. This conference offers a vital platform for curriculum specialists, educators, and researchers across the Asia-Pacific to share innovations and practices that ensure curriculum remains relevant, responsive, and future-ready in a VUCAD² environment.

STRANDS

  • Conception of VUCAD² World
  • Implications to Curriculum Planning across Disciplines and Levels of Education
  • Curriculum Implementation (Translation and Delivery) and VUCAD²
  • Curriculum and Instructional Evaluation and VUCAD²
  • Curriculum Innovations to Address VUCAD²
  • Instructional Innovations to Address VUCAD²

The world's landscape is undergoing profound and swift transformation, characterized by rapid technological advancements, socio-political and economic upheavals, global health crises, and environmental disasters. This presents a critically defined volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous, disruptive, and diverse (VUCAD2) environment. Within this global reality, education holds the imperative to equip citizens with the adaptive capacities necessary to engage with its inherent opportunities and challenges. Across the diverse nations of the Asia Pacific, curriculum developers, as principal architects of educational systems, are continually challenged to innovate in the design, implementation, and evaluation of learning experiences and environments, ensuring their relevance, appropriateness, and responsiveness to these contemporary demands. This conference is thus designed to provide a crucial venue for curriculum specialists, educators, and researchers to converge, sharing informed insights and evidence-based practices that have emerged from and are tailored for the Asia Pacific context, alongside cutting-edge innovations in curriculum and instruction pertinent to navigating the challenges and harnessing the opportunities of a VUCAD2 world.

GOAL

Discuss evidence-based insights, practices, and innovations in curriculum and instruction that address the challenges and opportunities of a VUCAD2 world.

OBJECTIVES

  1. To examine the conceptual foundations and emerging realities of a VUCAD² world and their significance for education systems in the Asia-Pacific region;
  2. To critically explore the implications of VUCAD² for curriculum planning, implementation, evaluation, and innovation across disciplines and levels of education; and
  3. To provide a platform for sharing evidence-based practices and forward-thinking strategies in curriculum and instructional design that address the challenges and opportunities of a VUCAD² environment.
