The aim of the journal is to publish high quality research that focuses on the essence of pedagogy and learning and related issues and trends. It has broad scope across disciplines to stimulate discussion and lead to improvement in relation to authoritative and emerging/new pedagogies and forms of learning. It encourages the sharing of ideas that contribute to the transformation of contemporary conceptions and understandings in order to reshape and revitalise educational policy and practice from the perspectives of educators, learners and education systems alike. These ideas are intended to be simultaneously anchored in local, regional and national contexts and to be international and transnational in intent and impact.
