The Educational Forum is an international, peer-reviewed journal whose mission is to “publish compelling research findings and thought-provoking perspectives as a catalyst for stimulating and encouraging research and dialogue and for advancing and transforming education.” The Educational Forum is seeking original empirical research and conceptual essays that address the ways in which contemporary understanding of “New Literacies” are enacted in educational settings from pre-K to adult learning. In the two decades since the term “new literacies”1 first appeared in an academic journal, reflecting a changing concept of how we think about teaching, learning and skills required for successful academic achievement, how much has changed and in what ways? This themed issue will look broadly at how technologic and other contemporary developments in the most recent generation of educational history have (or have not) influenced the work, lives and thinking of teachers, students and others involved in education. Papers that address the reciprocal relationship of “New Literacies” to classroom practices are of particular interest. For full and specific instructions to authors, including page lengths and formats, please e-mail Managing Editor Sally Rushmore at Sally@kdp.org. The submission deadline is March 23, 2012. Please send all submissions and questions to Academic Editor Dr. Alan Amtzis at Amtzis@tcnj.edu |
