Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To celebrate the anniversary of Education Sciences, we wish to develop a Special Issue consisting of reviews on the state of the art of research in different areas of education, with a reflection on what the future of the field will look like.
The aim is to provide authoritative overviews that will help researchers in the field and form a basis of knowledge and further development.
While areas of research will not be pre-specified, these will be substantive fields, such as formative assessment, the impact of cognitive science, effective instructional leadership, or flipped learning in HE.
It is intended that this Special Issue attracts submissions from strong teams of researchers and takes an international perspective, inclusive of research across national contexts.
Authors will be encouraged to draw on both quantitative and qualitative sources as suited to the field they are reviewing.
Submissions will be judged on the following:
- Substance of the field;
- Knowledge/experience of the authorial team;
- Rigour and validity of methodology;
- International nature and scope of the review.
Prof. Dr. Daniel Muijs
Guest Editor
