INSIGHTS 2019. Conference proceedings

Abstract

This collection of academic papers is the product of the research carried out by professionals who work at St Ignatius College and who invested in their professional development by continuing their studies in their areas of interest at both Masters and Doctoral levels in the educational field. These papers bring together a myriad of topics including Educational Leadership with specific reference to Invitational Leadership; Women in leadership and the challenges they face; Culturally responsive education in Malta; The origins of pedagogy in primary state schools in Malta; E twinning as a motivational tool in the learning of foreign languages; What constitutes dyslexia friendly practice; Contemporary issues in early childhood education; The potential of moving images in assessing learning in History and The use of virtual learning environments. The diversity of the subjects presented highlight the strong interest there is in research and the insights which emanate from it. This is very commendable and as a College Principal and an educator, I strongly believe in encouraging and sustaining this interest.
