Joint SIG 3 & SIG 20 Conference 2026

Theme

Bridging Conceptual Change and Inquiry: Pathways to meaningful learning

This special version of our bi-annual meetings aims to bring together researchers from around the world who are interested in conceptual learning, inquiry learning, and related fields. At this meeting, we invite researchers focusing on topics related to conceptual change processes, inquiry-based learning environments, and their interaction. We hope bringing together researchers from both SIGs will place an emphasis on the potential of these two fields for supporting meaningful learning. Thus, our conference theme is: Bridging Conceptual Change and Inquiry: Pathways to meaningful learning. Regardless of the conference theme, submissions of other topics related to these fields are welcome!
