International Journal of Science Education

期刊简介：The International Journal of Science Education (A) is firmly established as an authoritative voice in the world of science education. IJSE(A) publishes scholarly papers that focus on the teaching and learning of science in school settings ranging from early childhood to university education. It bridges the gap between research and practice, providing information, ideas and opinion. As a truly international journal, IJSE(A) welcomes contributions from any country provided that the authors explain their local contexts and demonstrate the significance of their work for a global readership. Special emphasis is placed on applicable research relevant to educational practice, guided by educational realities in systems, schools, colleges and universities. From time to time, a special issue, guest-edited by one or several acknowledged experts, is devoted to a topic of major interest and importance. Papers published in IJSE must have a research focus. As a research journal, the International Journal of Science Education does not publish description of programs, teaching strategies, book reviews and textbook analyses. We publish very few literature reviews, and only if they include a substantial discussion with critical analysis of the literature that could guide future research. Submissions that are concerned with science (as distinct with science education) or with general educational matters will not be considered for publication. Authors with any questions about the likely acceptability of a paper are invited to contact the Editor-in-Chief before making a submission. The journal publishes papers in several categories, outlined below: • Empirical research papers These are accounts of empirical investigations that are theory-based and embedded in a critical review of relevant literature. Manuscripts should include an account of the methodology and procedures used, explain the analysis carried out and the conclusions reached, draw implications for educational theory and practice, and point to possible future research. • Position papers These consist of analytical, interpretive, or persuasive essays on the origin, nature, and possible address to, identified problems, challenges, or opportunities, either being faced or likely to be faced by the practice of science education across the world, including educational, social, or philosophical issues and trends. This category particularly seeks to promote informed dialogues about science education and carefully reasoned papers representing disparate viewpoints are welcomed. Please note that space limitations restrict the number of position papers we can accept. • Comments and criticisms These should contain expressions of opinion or information relating to articles published previously, or to matters of interest to science educators. This section of IJSE allows readers the opportunity to express any reasonable view on a matter relevant to science teaching and learning. Submissions for this category are limited to 2000 words. IJSE ’s associated journal, International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement , is concerned with the communication between, and the engagement by, individuals and groups concerning evidence-based information about the nature, outcomes, and social consequences, of science and technology. Readership: Science education researchers and science educators worldwide. Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized referring by at least two anonymous referees.

【译文】《国际科学教育杂志》(A) 已成为科学教育领域的权威声音。 IJSE(A) 发表学术论文，重点关注从幼儿教育到大学教育的学校环境中的科学教学和学习。它弥合了研究与实践之间的差距，提供信息、想法和意见。作为一本真正的国际期刊，IJSE(A) 欢迎来自任何国家的贡献，只要作者解释当地背景并证明其工作对全球读者的重要性。特别强调与教育实践相关的应用研究，以系统、学校、学院和大学的教育现实为指导。有时，由一位或多位知名专家客座编辑的特刊专门讨论人们主要感兴趣和重要的主题。在IJSE上发表的论文必须有一个研究重点。作为研究期刊，《国际科学教育杂志》不发表项目描述、教学策略、书评和教科书分析。我们发表的文献综述很少，而且只有在它们包含对文献进行批判性分析的实质性讨论才能指导未来的研究。与科学（与科学教育不同）或一般教育问题有关的提交内容将不会被考虑出版。如果作者对论文的可接受性有任何疑问，请在提交之前联系主编。该期刊发表的论文分为几个类别，概述如下： • 实证研究论文 这些是基于理论并嵌入对相关文献的批判性评论的实证调查的描述。手稿应包括对所使用的方法和程序的说明，解释所进行的分析和得出的结论，得出对教育理论和实践的启示，并指出未来可能的研究。 • 立场文件 这些包括关于世界各地科学教育实践面临或可能面临的起源、性质和可能解决的问题、挑战或机遇的分析性、解释性或说服性文章，包括教育、社会或哲学问题和趋势。该类别特别旨在促进有关科学教育的知情对话，并且欢迎代表不同观点的经过仔细推理的论文。请注意，空间限制限制了我们可以接受的立场文件数量。 • 评论和批评 这些内容应包含与先前发表的文章或科学教育者感兴趣的问题相关的意见或信息。 IJSE 的这一部分让读者有机会就与科学教学相关的问题表达任何合理的观点。此类别的提交内容限制为 2000 字。 IJSE 的联合期刊《国际科学教育杂志》B 部分：交流和公众参与，关注个人和团体之间关于科学和技术的性质、结果和社会后果的基于证据的信息的交流和参与。读者群：世界各地的科学教育研究人员和科学教育工作者。同行评审政策：本期刊的所有研究文章都经过严格的同行评审，基于最初的编辑筛选和至少两名匿名审稿人的匿名推荐。
