Preface
T he Asian Centre for Research on University Learning and Teaching (ACRULeT),
located at the Faculty of Education, Universiti Teknologi MARA in Shah Alam,
Malaysia, held the 7th International Conference on University Learning and
Teaching (InCULT) on 2–3 December 2014. InCULT is a biennial conference held
by ACRULeT since 2002. The conference aims at providing a platform for the
extensive discussion and exchange of ideas between experts in education. Apart
from that, it also seeks to explore new directions and possibilities in enhancing
teaching and learning, especially in the context of higher education.
The theme for InCULT 2014 “Educate to Innovate in the 21st Century” was both
timely and pertinent in today’s keenly competitive arena of globalized higher educa-
tion environments. Theoretical and academic learning is closely interwoven with
practice, research and innovation. Therefore, there is a need to engage and leverage
the unique capabilities of both institutions of higher learning and industry, so as to
ensure that innovations can be translated into practical realities necessary for the
enhancement of teaching and learning. The following were the main sub-themes of
the conference:
1. Experiences in education
2. Pedagogical innovations in education
3. Career development and training
4. Experiences in research
5. Technology in education
6. General issues in education
InCULT 2014 received a total of 145 abstract submissions, all of which were
subjected to stringent “blind-reviews” and a total of 66 papers were fi nally selected
for the Springer International Proceeding publication. Apart from local institutions,
we also received paper submissions by international authors. Conference partici-
pants also came from varied backgrounds and institutions, both locally and abroad.
W e would like to express our sincere gratitude to our collaborative partner insti-
tutions; University of Hertfordshire (UK), University of South Australia (UNISA),
Ohio University (USA), Taylor’s University (M’sia) and the Higher Education
v
vi Preface
Leadership Academy of Malaysia (AKEPT) for their full support and cooperation
in ensuring the success of this academic conference. Finally, our sincere thanks also
go to all the authors, reviewers, speakers, participants and sponsors of the confer-
ence, and most importantly a “big” thank you also to all the extremely dedicated
committee members of InCULT 2014 and not forgetting the Dean of the Faculty of
Education, UiTM, Prof. Dr. Hj. Mohd. Mustafa Mohd Ghazali.
We hope you will enjoy reading the articles published in this issue. Thank you.
