This collection contains selected papers from the International Conference on Learning Innovation and Research in Basic Education 2022 held in Malang, Indonesia on 3-4 September 2022. This event was hosted by the Graduate School Universitas Negeri Malang.

The conference was organised to attract speakers and delegates interested in the themes of transformation and innovation in basic and primary education environments. Education for young children is considered one of the cornerstones of development for most societies across the Global South. However, in a post-pandemic society, the role of teachers and educational institutions has evolved, supporting children through their emotional and character development, a task historically isolated within the home. Furthermore, the Fourth Industrial Revolution has seen a rise in the use of technology by students at an accelerated rate, both within and beyond the classroom. This, then, forms the backdrop of this collection of 25 peer-reviewed papers that investigate the impact of educational infrastructures on the development of technical skillsets and character in students.

Containing a diverse array of studies evaluating the successes and challenges relating to new teaching models and the development of emotionally healthy and technologically literate young minds, this special guest-edited issue will be of interest to academics, students, or professionals researching or working on basic and primary Education.
