9th International Conference on University Teaching and Innovation (CIDUI): Learning and teaching innovation impacts

Abstract

The Organising Committee of the 9th International Conference on University Teaching and Innovation (CIDUI) wishes to thank the Editorial Board of the Journal of Technology and Science Education (JOTSE) for publishing this special issue.

Since the year 2000, a new CIDUI conference has been held every two years. Today, it is a well-established event that provides an opportunity to share advances and innovation in the field of higher education.

Like the previous editions, this one was also committed to fostering an especially participatory working dynamic and to promoting different points of view. The programmed debates were complemented by contributions from recognised specialists regarding the main topic of the conference: Learning and teaching innovation impacts. In relation to this general subject, papers were specifically focused on one of the four thematic axes proposed for this edition:

1. Analysis of the impact on university teaching and learning
2. New training scenes
3. Professional Development
4. Innovative methodologies in teaching – learning processes

The present special issue of the Journal of Technology and Science Education - JOTSE consists of eleven papers.
