CALL FOR PRESENTATION PROPOSALS: The 6th Murdoch – Kaplan Learning and Teaching Symposium 2023
The 6th Murdoch – Kaplan Learning and Teaching Symposium 2023
Date: Friday, September 22, 2023
Time: 1 pm to 5 pm online (Teams)
Theme: Teaching Well
This year’s Murdoch – Kaplan Learning and Teaching Symposium will be informed by the theme “Teaching Well”.
Society greatly values those that ‘Teach Well’ and most of us have benefited from teachers who have inspired and taught us well. But what does it mean to teach well? How do our experiences as learners shape our teaching practices? What are the heuristics and practices of effective teachers? How do we know as educationalists when we have taught well?
In this 6th Learning & Teaching Symposium, we invite presentations on any Learning & Teaching issues that further our shared understanding of “Teaching Well”.
Some suggested lines of enquiry might include:
- Using technology (especially AI) to teach well
- Teaching practices to stimulate class discussion
- Developing student’s critical and analytical faculties
- Teaching sensitive issues well
- Teaching well in international contexts
- Teaching well with diverse cohorts of students
- Teaching well using blended learning methods
- Managing to teach well under pressure
Please submit your 50-100 word presentation proposal to Murdoch Singapore at MurdochSGP@murdoch.edu.au by August 15, 2023.

Background
Simulation based education has an emerging prevalence across the globe. Initially pioneered by the airline industry, simulation is now regular used across a broad range of professions such as law enforcement (police forces), lawyers, teachers, and social workers and many more. It has increasing importance in educating healthcare professionals, particularly post pandemic where there is a shortage of student placements in some areas and governing bodies are authorising the replacement of practice hours with simulated practice.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:
Simulation as a pedagogy
Prebrief and debrief
Measuring the effectiveness of simulation
Planning and implementation of simulated learning sessions
The types of publications that are eligible for acceptance into this Special Issue include:
- Research and review papers (4,000 – 8,000 words)
- Case studies and good practice examples (3,000 – 6,000 words)

The debacle surrounding “Game Stop” in early 2021 was extraordinary, a moment where instruments and processes of contemporary finance entered popular culture and discourse in ways that are rarely seen. From the dynamics of short-selling to conflicts between small investors and larger brokerages, to the abandonment of the traditional retail sector to gamifcation and memeifcation of financial transactions. These events were for many a “learning moment” in the sense of bringing to light dynamics that were far less visible before.
If this was indeed a learning moment, what have we learned? What lessons might be learned for finance education? What can we make of these dynamics for rethinking approaches to teaching and learning today? Both in the sense of financial education itself, but also in the broader sense of teaching and learning itself is deeply embedded in what Randy Martin theorized as the “financialization of everyday life”?

Over many years, there has emerged a rich tradition of alternative education practices, from the ideas and practices of Paulo Freire and Ivan Illich, to the formation of free schools and non-institutional forms of organized self-education. These educational alternatives are built upon a foundation of deep learning, as participants take part out of an interest or enthusiasm for the topic, rather than as a means to attain a qualification or degree. The symposium will explore these approaches to applied teaching and learning.
