Journal of Educational Thought

Aims & Scope

Journal of Educational Thought (JET) promotes speculative, critical, and historical research concerning the theory and practice of education in a variety of areas including administration, comparative education, curriculum, educational communication, evaluation, instructional methodology, intercultural education, philosophy, psychology, and sociology.

Critical and controversial views in the field of education or on previously published articles in the Journal of Educational Thought appear in a section entitled "The Forum," which contains papers of a less formal nature.

The book section includes short book reviews as well as extended book review essays.

The Journal is international in scope and qualitative in nature.

It serves a broad readership: specialists in the areas mentioned, scholars, and the public in general.

It is the policy of the Journal to provide an open forum for scholarly discussion.

Editorials, articles, and book reviews are to be regarded as expressing the viewpoints of the writers themselves and not as reflecting official positions of the Werklund School of Education or the University of Calgary.

The editors reserve the right to make changes that improve the clarity or brevity of manuscripts.
