Journal Guide

Education + Training addresses the increasingly complex relationships between education, training and employment and the impact of these relationships on national and global labour markets. The journal gives specific consideration to young people, looking at how the transition from school/college to employment is achieved and how the nature of partnerships between the worlds of education and work continues to evolve. The journal explores vocationalism in learning and efforts to address employability within the curriculum, together with coverage of innovative themes and initiatives within vocational education and training.

Education 3-13 - International Journal of Primary, Elementary and Early Years Education is the major international publication of the Association for the Study of Primary Education (ASPE). The defining feature of the journal is that it aims to publish refereed articles representing the highest quality research and analysing practice relating to children between the ages of 3-13, both in the UK and internationally. It should be noted, however, that whilst the submission of items relating to pre-school and the transfer to secondary education are encouraged, the central focus of the journal is on primary education and articles addressing that phase are especially welcomed. Education 3-13 will be of interest to academics, students, teachers and advisers who seek perspectives on early years, primary and middle schooling. The Journal seeks to provide an avenue for the publication of research that will help to develop policy and practice in primary education and will also assist practitioners by providing helpful and stimulating ways of viewing what they do, or might do. The Journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of primary education in the form of articles that report original research, analyse practice, discuss local and national policy and initiatives, offer a comparative perspective on research and policy and report on major research projects. Illustrations, tables, figures, photos and examples of children's work are welcomed.Membership of ASPE includes a subscription to Education 3-13 -International Journal of Primary, Elementary and Early Years Education.

Aims of the Editors:

It is our determination to develop this journal into a key international voice in the growing and significant field of education and information technologies.

This journal is a platform for the range of debates and issues that are current in our field. It is a broad field: we aim to provide perspectives at all levels, from the micro of specific applications or instances of use in classrooms to macro concerns of national policies and major projects: from classes of five year olds to adults in tertiary institutions: from teachers and administrators, to researchers and designers: from institutions to open, distance and lifelong learning. The strength of this breadth lies in the opportunity to raise and debate fundamental issues at all levels, to discuss specific instances and cases, draw inference and probe theory. This journal is embedded in the research and practice of professionals. It will not proselytise on behalf of the technologies but rather provoke debate on all the complex relationships between information and communication technologies and education.

As editors we are determined to maintain and expand the international standing of Education and Information Technologies by careful selection on merit of the papers submitted to us. Our goal is that we should provide an ongoing forum for debate. We shall occasionally produce special editions to enable us to cover particular issues at depth.We invite you, our readers, to send us papers on your work for consideration for inclusion, but also to comment and reflect upon the argument and opinions that we shall be publishing.

Education, Citizenship and Social Justice provides a strategic forum for international and multi-disciplinary dialogue for all academic educators and educational policy-makers concerned with the meanings and form of citizenship and social justice as these are realised throughout the time spent in educational institutions.

Educational Action Research is a fully refereed international journal concerned with exploring the dialogue between research and practice in educational settings. The considerable increase in interest in action research in recent years has been accompanied by the development of a number of different approaches: for example, to promote reflective practice; professional development; empowerment; understanding of tacit professional knowledge; curriculum development; individual, institutional and community change; and development of democratic management and administration. Proponents of all these share the common aim of ending the dislocation of research from practice, an aim which links them with those involved in participatory research and action inquiry. This journal publishes accounts of a range of action research and related studies, in education and across the professions, with the aim of making their outcomes widely available and exemplifying the variety of possible styles of reporting. It aims to establish and maintain a review of the literature of action research. It also provides a forum for dialogue on the methodological and epistemological issues, enabling different approaches to be subjected to critical reflection and analysis.The impetus for Educational Action Research came from CARN, the Collaborative Action Research Network, and since its foundation in 1992, EAR has been important in extending and strengthening this international network.Editorial correspondence, including manuscripts for submission (in three copies), together with an electronic copy of the article in MS Word format, should be sent to Christopher Day, Co-Editor, Educational Action Research, School of Education, University of Nottingham, Jubilee Campus, Wollaton Road, Nottingham NG8 1BB, United Kingdom.Peer Review Policy:All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees, normally from two different countries in line with the journal's international status.Disclaimer for Scientific, Technical and Social Science publications:Taylor & Francis and Collaborative Action Research Network make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
