Aims & Scope

The Waikato Journal of Education is a well-regarded peer-reviewed journal. Since the journal was first published in 1995, it has made a major contribution to the scholarship on a wide range of topics in the field of education, particularly issues connected to curriculum, learning and teaching. Articles have included reports on educational research and practice and viewpoints on education policies, theories and practices. Issues often have a special focus. Previous Special Issues and sections have included creative research in the arts; Pacific education: research and practice; bodies in motion; theorising pedagogy; Māori culture and education; teacher education, curriculum, ethics and tertiary education; educational leadership; and new voices in ethnography. The journal appeals to a diverse readership that includes academics, graduate students, teachers across all sectors from early childhood to tertiary, policymakers and the public. The journal aims to publish two issues per year. This may alter at times. The journal is open access. The final published version of every article (or Version of Record) is permanently and freely available online for anyone, anywhere, to read. The journal uses a Creative Commons Licence, which must be respected at all times. There are no charges for submitting or processing any manuscript.
