Welcome to the Thirteenth Annual Hawaii International Conference on Education Aloha! We welcome you to the Thirteenth Annual Hawaii International Conference on Education. For more than a decade, this event has offered a unique opportunity for academics and other professionals from around the globe to share their broad array of knowledge and perspectives. The primary goal of the conference is to provide those with cross-disciplinary interests related to education to meet and interact with others inside and outside their own discipline. The international aspect of the conference brings a truly diverse variety of viewpoints shaped by different cultures, languages, geography and politics. This diversity is also captured in the Hawaii International Conference’s unique cross- disciplinary approach. The resulting interaction energizes research as well as vocation. With Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head and the vast South Pacific as the backdrop, this venue is an important dimension of this conference. For centuries a stopping place of explorers, Hawaii has historically been enriched by the blend of ideas that have crossed our shores. The Hawaii International Conference on Education continues this tradition in the nurturing spirit of Aloha. Along with its ideal weather and striking beauty, the Hawaiian Islands provide natural elements to inspire learning and dialogue. This year we have more than 1325 participants representing more than 34 countries. Thank you for joining the 2015 Hawaii International Conference on Education! The 2016 Hawaii International Conference on Education is tentatively scheduled for January 6 – 9, 2016 at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa and the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii.

It's a word that includes the idea of larger and more expansive. It's the way you need to think if you want to move from just getting by and surviving to abundance and thriving. Fear, comfort and complacency are indicators of small thinking and the enemies of thinking and living NUI. To break through the challenge of thinking too small we will discuss how as educators we can breakthrough and influence the next generation to Think NUI drawing upon our island heritage and timeless values. The Polynesian Voyaging Society said, "Our values steer our actions." The first settlers to our Hawaiian islands had values that allowed them to not just think NUI but also live it. These and other values steered the first voyagers into places they had never seen doing what had never been done and can help us do the same. • Think Different: The problems of today won't be fixed by the solutions of yesterday. We have to recognize and accept that here in Hawaii we already think differently than the rest of the world and this difference is good. • Think Back: Stay connected to our deep values and history. With this connection we have an unshakeable foundation that gives us a strong platform to move into the unknown future. • Think Ahead: Clarify and communicate our vision. A compelling vision challenges and in-spires us to reach deeper within to achieve the dream. • Think NUI Kaala Souza is a public speaker and author of the book, Pono: A Hawaiian-Style Approach to Balance and Well-Being. He lives in Hawaii with his wife, two boys, and three dogs. Kaala is a public speaker, trainer and corporate consultant. He is also the creator of the 3-Minute Message, a website offering daily shots of inspiration and motivation to over 100,000 people around the world. 5 —————————————————————————— Time: 8:00 - 9:30 AM / Monday - 1/5/2015 / Room: Hibiscus I Session Topic: Adult Education Session Chair: Hutto, Debra Jean PEP * for Persistence (*Passion, Encouragement, Practice) Get pumped up for the next semester by joining the PEP squad (and channel your inner cheerleader) and help students move from passive to persistent.

Motivation and explicit teaching strategies help your highest and lowest learners engage and understand, and can help them obtain goals others thought were unreachable. Make every day a PEP rally. Hutto, Debra Jean –— Northwest Florida State College/University of West Florida Development of an Instrument to Measure Teaching Style in Japan: The Teaching Style Assessment Scale (TSAS) The Principles of Adult Learning Scale (PALS) has been used extensively in the West for measuring teaching style in adult education, but no version has been available for use in Japan. This research used PALS as the foundation for creating a new instrument with which to measure teaching style in Japanese adult education. The new 30-item instrument was named the Teaching Style Assessment Scale and is available in both Japanese and English.
