Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce our forthcoming Special Issue titled "Innovative Approaches to Understanding Student Learning" in Education Sciences. Presently, student learning from primary to higher education settings encounters numerous challenges, including—but not limited to—integrating digital technologies, managing diversity, equity, and inclusion; adapting to globalization; navigating the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic; and addressing the intricate interplay of factors that influence learning outcomes. These challenges underscore the necessity for pioneering research to deepen our comprehension of learning processes within these dynamically evolving contexts.
The primary objective of this Special Issue is to curate original research and reviews that offer insights into innovative theoretical frameworks about student learning or novel methodological approaches encompassing study designs, assessment tools, analytical methodologies, and diverse participant samples.
We welcome submissions that adopt such progressive approaches across all facets of learning, such as exploring determinants of academic success, understanding competency acquisition, elucidating learning processes, and investigating the various resources that facilitate learning. Furthermore, we encourage submissions that showcase innovative research on student learning across diverse educational settings, including investigations into the efficacy of instructional methods, the impact of digital and artificial intelligence-supported learning environments, examinations of self-regulated and co-regulated learning conditions, and analyses of curricular frameworks and institutional structures.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
