Conference website for full details: http://iateflresig2018istanbul.com/
This was the fourth annual ReSIG conference in Turkey, and the third one at Bahçeşehir University, located on the Bosphorus. The primary goal of the conference was to bring together teacher-researchers across Turkey and beyond to support the growing international movement of teachers as researchers and knowledge creators for themselves, their students and their schools. This conference wasparticipant-centred, with teachers being viewed as at the centre of knowledge construction rather than the ‘receivers’ of expert knowledge. The format of the conference promoted interaction among presenters and listeners by allowing ample discussion time after brief presentations of studies. In this way, teachers were encouraged to communicate their ideas, and to get and give feedback freely.
The conference also featured plenary papers and workshops by speakers including Gary Barkhuizen, Kenan Dikilitaş, Ayşen Güven, Angi Malderez, Ece Topkaya and Mark Wyatt.
