Introducing WALS 2022 in Malaysia

We are delighted to announce that the WALS Council agreed at their meeting in December 2020 that the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) will hold the 2022 WALS Conference in Malaysia.

Based on a strong foundation of 30 years into research, UKM was awarded the status of a Malaysian Research University in October 2006 by the Ministry of Higher Education of Malaysia, a move designed to propel the four public universities into leading research universities in line with the Higher Education Strategic Plan 2007-2020. It is ranked in the 100 best new universities established within the last 50 years in the world.

Lesson study was adopted by the Ministry of Education in 2011 and the organisers are very excited about bringing the international conference to Malaysia

Proposed theme of the conference

  1. Lesson study in the context of theory and practice
  2. Learning collaboration, theory and practice
  3. Improvement of teaching and learning in any discipline
  4. Methodology and research technique on Lesson Study
  5. Best practices in Lesson Study
  6. Models of collaboration doing research in Lesson Study
The conference is likely to be organised as a blended face to face and online event and further information will be available at the end of 2021.
