SEA-DR 8 International Conference
Southeast Asia Design Research (SEA-DR) International Conference is an annual conference held in the Southeast Asia region with the aim of developing the design research field in Education. The conference also aims to disseminate research results related to design research both for policy interests and for practical use in their application in various educational disciplines.
The 8th SEA DR will provide excellent opportunities for academics, lecturers, teachers, students, educators, researchers, and educational stakeholders to share knowledge and research findings and to promote best practices in design research. The topic of interest covers all theoretical and practical aspects of design research in the fields of teaching and education in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, sports, languages, management, economics, and other social sciences.
STEACH 2 International Conference
It is high time to extract the thoughts to get enlightenment of the intersection between science, technology, knowledge, culture, and humanities. This is the result of interdisciplinary knit among different fields in life and science that cause human beings to interact with each other in their respective mode, channel, and media to create a discourse.
The increasingly complex life of civilization requires practical and pragmatic skills to win the battle of discourse in order to be recognized and to be trusted as mainstream culture. Science is a source of inspiration and aspiration in carrying out the mission of civilization since it provides a concrete framework of action, a milestone of human history. Technology, which was developed later than science, aligns science and its application in life. Education, then, becomes a key role to the successful integration of science and technology in seeking and developing how action in life is framed and discussed. It is supposed to be taken into consideration in order to pave the concrete steps in culture and society.
Likewise, art is the fruit of the sense and the thought that underpins the beauty and the meaning of life. On the one hand, culture is a concrete platform that underlies science and technology. It is of course developed under the support of art, which then embodies itself into a package of tools to make people more civilized and cultured. While on the other hand, human beings could find their being whenever they are able to accommodate those different sides into a harmonious strive of the works of science, technology, education, arts, culture, and humanity. Thus, what human needs in life are the work of science, technology, education, arts, culture, and his/her humanity sense.
Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Unesa) was formerly known as Surabaya Institute of Teacher Training (IKIP Surabaya). IKIP Surabaya produced teachers, and thus Unesa is now also cultivating teachers for the empowerment of society’s development. Hence, Unesa is now acknowledged as a comprehensive university. The university cultivates both educational study programs and pure science-based study programs. The Graduate School of Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Pascasarjana Unesa) is an educational higher education that takes care of master's degrees (Master of Education) and doctoral degrees (Ph.D.) in education. Its mission is to cultivate scientists in educational fields to fulfill the requirements of the world of education nationally and internationally.
