The field of the metaphysics of science is one that barely existed a decade or two ago. But it has now become one of the most active areas of current research in philosophy of science and closely related areas of philosophy. Our aim will be to bring together a significant group of philosophers who are currently working on the metaphysics of science for concentrated discussion of their current research, as well as to explore new directions that are opening up in the field. It is anticipated that at least one major volume of published essays will emerge from papers presented at the conference. http://www.edna.edu.au/noticeboards/688/722918 The purpose of the conference will be to promote discussion of current research in the metaphysics of science.

There are a lot of misunderstandings about the needs of gifted children and adolescents. The first session looks at the issue of identification and how it is a complex course of action, as it must involve appropriate procedures that will identify all types of students, including those who are gifted underachievers and those who may be disadvantaged. The second session details how intelligence is not so easy to define. This is why intelligence testing is a controversial subject and why it is important for parents and teachers to gain a 'working knowledge' of what an Intelligence test measures. This session will try and dispel some urban myths about Intelligence tests. http://www.edna.edu.au/noticeboards/688/722647 These free seminars for parents and teachers will give a better understanding of the social and emotional needs of gifted children.

There are a lot of misunderstandings about the needs of gifted children and adolescents. The first seminar examines common myths, assumptions and beliefs about gifted children in conjunction with what the research says. By exploring the reality of what is (or is not) provided for the gifted, we will identify the current needs of gifted children and what parents, teachers and schools can do to meet these needs. The second half of the seminar will look at their natural abilities, and how it is critical that the gifted establish a range of skills, behaviours and habits that will enable them to grow into healthy, resilient, confident, happy and achieving young adults. Parenting strategies and educational practices that are appropriate to their needs will nurture the child's development and create an environment in which the gifted will flourish. http://www.edna.edu.au/noticeboards/688/722643 These free seminars for parents and teachers will give a better understanding of the social and emotional needs of gifted children.

The conference explores the impact of economic rationalism and the emergence of concepts of sustainability in reference to issues such as health, education, environment and governance. Looks at using action learning, action research and related methodologies (eg: collaborative inquiry, appreciative inquiry) to consider the impact of these ideas on current action research and learning practices. The conference will be unconventional, using highly participatory forms of interaction, self-organisation and collaborative knowledge generation. This approach offers a unique and very timely experiential opportunity for delegates (both novice and mature) to learn and practice action learning and research at the event. http://www.edna.edu.au/noticeboards/688/722550 This year's conference is presented in an exciting partnership with the Centre for Educational Excellence at the Canberra Institute of Technology.
