INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENCE EDUCATION

The International Journal of Science Education (A) is firmly established as an authoritative voice in the world of science education. IJSE(A) publishes scholarly papers that focus on the teaching and learning of science in school settings ranging from early childhood to university education. It bridges the gap between research and practice, providing information, ideas and opinion. As a truly international journal, IJSE(A) welcomes contributions from any country provided that the authors explain their local contexts and demonstrate the significance of their work for a global readership. Special emphasis is placed on applicable research relevant to educational practice, guided by educational realities in systems, schools, colleges and universities. The journal publishes papers in several categories, outlined below. From time to time, a special issue, guest-edited by one or several acknowledged experts, is devoted to a topic of major interest and importance. IJSE(A) is concerned with science education but also welcomes manuscripts on the integration of science education with other disciplines, in particular, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) or, geography, social sciences and the arts. Submissions that are concerned with science (as distinct with science education) or with general educational matters will not be considered for publication. Authors with any questions about the likely acceptability of a paper are invited to contact the Editor-in-Chief before making a submission.
