Aims & Scope

The European Journal of Psychology of Education is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal dedicated to publishing high-quality papers in the psychology of education, focusing on human development, learning, and lifelong education. The journal particularly welcomes contributions that: Conceptualize learning and development as dynamic, cultural, and relational processes, rather than as only mere outcomes or products. Explore the psychological dimensions of these processes across a wide range of institutional (e.g., school, home, community activities, work, etc.), social, everyday, and cultural contexts. Highlight the diversity of participants – including variations in development, language(s), (multi)cultural resources, schooling, extracurricular educational experience, family life, gender, part-taking in the social life of the community. View children and adults as active, agentic persons with trajectories and concrete activities. Mobilize diverse theoretical and methodological approaches that are coherently aligned with the specific research questions being addressed. The editorial team is particularly interested in fundamental research that situates learning and developmental dynamics within broader societal issues and contributes to understanding their implications from early childhood through adulthood.
