This year’s conference focuses on Knowledge Building as a meta-level framework that bridges theory, design, and practice for re-envisioning education. We aim to build synergistic efforts to address contemporary challenges—advancing Knowledge Building; integrating generative AI; supporting teacher innovation; driving curriculum change; designing analytics for concurrent, embedded, and transformative assessment; and enriching related designs (e.g., STEM, design-based thinking) for systemic innovation.
