Submissions

In Theory (Research)

EPR is no longer in publication. Please do not submit.

Research articles are defined as manuscripts which explore/discuss original research studies and findings. Scholarly research submissions may utilize any type of research methodology (qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, or action research). In such a capacity, research articles should conform to conventional practices within the academy when appropriate (literature review, methods, analysis, etc.). 

In Practice (Pedagogy)

EPR is no longer in publication. Please do not submit.

Pedagogical application and experience articles are scholarly articles which focus on creative application of best practice in the school or classroom setting.  In addition to creative applications of research findings, submissions in this category should include critical reflection of the practice/experience discussed in the submission.  Submissions in this category might include teacher as researcher manuscripts, in which practitioners share action research efforts, highlighting practical applications based on the research findings, along with critical reflection.

In Other Words (Essay/Commentary)

EPR is no longer in publication. Please do not submit.

Essays/commentaries are scholarly articles which are free of academic jargon and should have a concise argument/thesis that explores an educational topic. Essay/commentary submissions should clearly state a perspective or viewpoint on a timely and critical issue in contemporary education and provide supporting evidence with clarity and integrity, providing readers with thought-provoking points for consideration.
