I. Purpose: This forum aims to explore how students can transform from passive learners into active participants in their own learning, inquiry into real-world problems, and co-creation of knowledge and value, with "participatory learning" at its core. It seeks to bring together teachers, researchers, and educational practitioners from various fields to exchange research findings and practical experiences on topics such as participatory learning, self-directed learning, interdisciplinary curriculum, social practice, integration of artificial intelligence into teaching, emotional support, learning communities, and institutional innovation. This will promote teaching practice research, teacher professional development, and the continuous transformation of higher education. We sincerely invite scholars, experts, and frontline teachers to share their research and practices in teaching innovation.
