Education and Self Development

Aims & Scope

Education and Self-development (E&SD) is now in its 17th year of publication.

It aims to be the primary source of research and East-West dialogue regarding the theory and methods, of ways of enabling individuals and communities to develop to their fullest capacity.

Our vision is that the Journal is a bridge between Russian and Eastern Europe on the one hand, and Europe and North America on the other, with articles from other continents (Africa, South America, SE Asia and Australia).

We achieve that vision by working from our Russian base, with a strong international editorial board and our unique bilingual approach. “Education” is taken to include all forms of teaching, learning, instruction and training in schools, colleges, universities, workplaces and non-formal and informal settings for all age groups in the developed and developing world, by means of face-to-face, digital or blended learning. “Self-development” is taken to include all means of examining learners’ needs, potential and interests and enabling them to discover, enrich and apply new knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations that will help them in their lifelong learning.

It occurs in formal learning contexts but also involves compensating for gaps in learning and developing new competencies in people throughout their lives.
