Twenty Years of Theory and Research in Education

/

Theory and Research in Education (published by SAGE) is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes theoretical, empirical and conjectural papers contributing to the development of educational theory, policy and practice. The journal has gained a loyal international readership with over 85,000 article downloads annually and is included in Web of Science’s Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). The journal is currently in its nineteenth year of publication and the Editor-in-Chief is pleased to announce:

Editor’s Choice Virtual Special Issue

This virtual special issue appears in the nineteenth year of the journal’s publication. It serves as a retrospective on the first nineteen years, but also initiates a celebration of what we have achieved with the journal in the lead-up to the twentieth volume. In this virtual special issue, we collect together a dozen articles that spans the 19 years of our publication and that illustrate not only the variety of topics and approaches that have featured in the journal, but that also typify TRE’s analytic style.

Call for papers, Volume 20

TRE invites retrospective papers on the first nineteen years of publication of the journal, to be published in volume 20 (in print in 2022). We seek to publish:

  • short reaction pieces (1,000 to 1,5000 words) commenting on any paper that appears in volume 1 - 19

  • more substantial critical reviews (4,500 to 6,000 words) of a set of papers that may have been published in different volumes and issues, but are unified by a common theme.

Call for papers, Volume 21

TRE invite papers on ‘New Directions for Analytic Educational Theory’, to be published in volume 21 of the journal (in print in 2023). We seek to publish:

  • Papers exploring the connections between philosophy of education and the other foundational educational disciplines of sociology -, history -, psychology -, and economics of education in the 2020’s.

  • Papers that explore the meaning of analyticity in philosophy of education and educational theory

  • Wide-ranging, systematic critiques of analytic philosophy of education in the years 2000 to 2020.

  • Papers setting out a programme of research for the next decade of TRE.
