Aims and Scope
Journal of Science Teaching is a periodic journal of the Argentine Association of Physics Teachers (APFA). Each of its yearly volumes includes two regular numbers and a special number.
Regular numbers offer original contributions for Science/Physics Education Researchers and Teaching Practitioners.
The special number compiles the work presented at either REF (Physics Education Meeting, on odd-numbered years) or SIEF (Physics Education Research Symposium, on even-numbered years), the two biannual meetings of APFA. Contributions to special numbers are double-blind revised by the evaluation committees of each conference.
Articles will be admitted provided that they address topics relevant to Physics (or Sience) Education and that they have not been published elsewhere.
Its aims are to offer an space in which the community of Physics teachers and Physics Education researchers may:
- share theoretical considerations, essays, ideas, pedagogy and research results oriented to the improvement of Physics and Experimental Science teaching at all educational levels;
- share ideas, initiatives, and experiences among teachers, providing a space for them to reflect critically on their own practice and to support in-service teachers in their proffessional development
- communicate activities that occur throughout the country and abroad, in relation to teaching and educational research.
Contributions to the Journal may include:
- Research articles in the field of Physics (or Science) Education, theoretical analysis, state-of-the-art reports, which may contribute to the understanding of meaningful problems related to the learning and/or teaching of Physics/Science.
- Work addressing the needs and concerns of science teachers, including those linked to the learning of teaching of particular disciplinar content as well as those related to the design and implementation of innovative pedagogy, management of classroom practices, etc.
- Reports of activities and events, thesis, critical literature revision, proyects, etc.
