The Journal of Continuing Higher Education

期刊简介：The Journal of Continuing Higher Education (JCHE) strives to support continuing higher education by serving as a forum for the reporting and exchange of information based on research, observations, and experience relevant to the field. JCHE serves the leaders, administrators, faculty, and staff who work with adult/nontraditional/post-traditional students or provide programs of continuing education within higher education. Thesestudents are often defined by age (most often 25 and above) and typically hold concurrent life roles that compete with their roles as students (e.g. workers, family providers, and community leaders) . They are served through credit and noncredit offerings in both traditional and innovative formats (i.e., online, off-campus, accelerated, etc.) in either undergraduate or graduate studies. JCHE publishes quantitative and mixed methods research regularly. The majority of our articles fall within the qualitative tradition. We are currently seeking submission of major articles (current research articles, of up to 7,000 words on the following topics: Adult and nontraditional students, including veterans, enrolled in undergraduate studies. Adult students at the graduate-level looking for career and academic guidance as well as financial management and work/life balance in programs that feature innovative instructional strategies tailored to the unique needs of graduate learners. These programs often utilize technology-enhanced learning tools to support advanced learners and feature scholar-practitioner oriented content and interdisciplinary approaches in graduate programs. Leadership and management in applied professional education settings Students who are served by adult and continuing higher education organizations Organization and administration of continuing higher education Development and implementation of new continuing higher education program initiatives Programs and services designed to support continuing higher education (undergraduate, graduate, certificate, degree and noncredit) students Social justice issues within continuing higher education Design and implementation of effective online and hybrid teaching in continuing higher education serving adult students Use of technology to advance program design, teaching and learning in continuing higher education Continuing higher education's role in preparing for the job impact of AI and/or robotics The journal occasionally publishes continuing higher education articles that are theoretical models and conceptual treatments, and literature reviews. We define these as follows: Theoretical models that explore frameworks that offer systematic explanations or predictions of phenomena. Conceptual treatments that critically examine, refine, or generate key ideas, constructs, or typologies. These might also explain underexplored aspects of a topic. Literature reviews that provide synthesis and highlight new patterns and perspectives are welcomed. All such articles must be focused on continuing higher education. The journal also encourages the submission of " Ideas in Practice " articles of up to 5,000 words. These articles contain descriptions of new, innovative, and successful programs or practices. These articles are not conceptual or theoretical and must provide evidence of practical success in the form of increased enrollment, improved student evaluations or outcomes, survey data, etc. Qualitative, mixed methods, and simple quantitative inquiries are welcome as part of this category. The programs or practices should be replicable and of significance to the profession. Authors must include an example of how to replicate. We welcome a modest literature base for the articles in this category. These articles undergo the same peer review process as research articles. The journal occasionally publishes book reviews of current publications in the field—prospective authors are advised to consult with the editor prior to preparing book reviews to obtain the specific review guidelines. Peer Review Policy: All research, conceptual, theoretical, literature review, and Ideas in Practice articles in this journal have undergone anonymous double anonymized and editorial review. Inquiries should be directed to Co-Editor Dr. Walter Pearson walterspearson@gmail.com Issues are published in the winter, spring, and fall.

【译文】《继续高等教育杂志》(JCHE) 致力于通过充当基于该领域相关研究、观察和经验的信息报告和交流论坛来支持继续高等教育。 JCHE 为与成人/非传统/后传统学生一起工作或提供高等教育继续教育项目的领导者、管理人员、教职员工提供服务。这些学生通常按年龄（通常为 25 岁及以上）来定义，并且通常同时承担与学生角色竞争的生活角色（例如工人、家庭提供者和社区领导者）。他们在本科或研究生学习中通过传统和创新形式（即在线、校外、加速等）提供学分和非学分课程。 JCHE 定期发表定量和混合方法研究。我们的大多数文章都属于定性传统。我们目前正在寻求提交关于以下主题的主要文章（当前研究文章，最多 7,000 字）：入读本科学习的成人和非传统学生，包括退伍军人。研究生级别的成人学生寻求职业和学术指导以及财务管理和工作/生活平衡的项目，这些项目具有针对研究生学习者独特需求的创新教学策略。这些项目通常利用技术增强的学习工具来支持高级学习者，并在研究生中以学者从业者为导向的内容和跨学科方法为特色。应用专业教育环境中的领导和管理 成人和继续高等教育组织服务的学生 继续高等教育的组织和管理 制定和实施新的继续高等教育计划举措 旨在支持继续高等教育（本科、研究生、证书、学位和非学分）学生的计划和服务 继续高等教育中的社会正义问题 为成人学生服务的继续高等教育中设计和实施有效的在线和混合教学 利用技术推进继续高等教育中的计划设计、教学和学习 继续高等教育在应对人工智能对就业影响方面的作用该杂志偶尔会发表理论模型和概念处理以及文献评论的继续高等教育文章。这些理论模型探索提供系统解释或预测的现象，批判性地检查、完善或生成关键想法、结构或类型。这些也可能解释一个主题的未充分探索的方面。所有此类文章都必须关注继续高等教育。提交最多 5,000 字的“实践中的想法”文章。这些文章不是概念性的或理论性的，必须以增加入学人数、改进学生评估或结果、调查数据等形式提供实际成功的证据。我们欢迎此类项目或实践具有可复制性，并且对行业具有重要意义。这些文章会经历与该领域当前出版物相同的同行评审过程——建议潜在作者在准备书评之前咨询编辑以获得具体的同行评审指南：本期刊中的所有研究、概念、理论、文献综述和实践想法均经过匿名双重匿名和编辑评审。 walterspearson@gmail.com 期刊于冬季、春季和秋季出版。
