Author Description

Education in our fast changing knowledge-based global environment faces many challenges. And these challenges require innovative and creative thinking to address an endless gamut of real-life concerns and problems. The sharing of innovative practices by educators who are engaged in different sub-disciplines or fields in education needs to be an ongoing endeavour for the learning of new ideas to occur. The Asia-Pacific Conference on Education held in June 2003 represents one such forum for educators to interact and share innovative educational practices. This conference proceeding of selected papers hope to continue the learning dialogue among educators. Collectively, these chapters present an array of diverse topics that reflect innovative thinking across various domains in education. Educators across different disciplines who are interested in injecting new ideas into classroom or tertiary level teaching will find this collection to be a useful resource.
