Instructional Science

Journal Title：Instructional Science

Instructional Science, An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, promotes a deeper understanding of the nature, theory, and practice of learning and of environments in which learning occurs. The journal’s conception of learning, as well as of instruction, is broad, recognizing that there are many ways to stimulate and support learning. The journal encourages submission of research papers, covering a variety of perspectives from the learning sciences and learning, by people of all ages, in all areas of the curriculum, in technologically rich or lean environments, and in informal and formal learning contexts. Emphasizing reports of original empirical research, the journal provides space for full and detailed reporting of major studies. Regardless of the topic, papers published in the journal all make an explicit contribution to the science of learning and instruction by drawing out the implications for the design and implementation of learning environments. We particularly encourage the submission of papers that highlight the interaction between learning processes and learning environments, focus on meaningful learning, and recognize the role of context. Papers are characterized by methodological variety that ranges, for example, from experimental studies in laboratory settings, to qualitative studies, to design-based research in authentic learning settings.  The Editors will occasionally invite experts to write a review article on an important topic in the field.  When review articles are considered for publication, they must deal with central issues in the domain of learning and learning environments. The journal accepts replication studies. Such a study should replicate an important and seminal finding in the field, from a study which was originally conducted by a different research group. Most years, Instructional Science publishes a guest-edited thematic special issue on a topic central to the journal's scope. Proposals for special issues can be sent to the Editor-in-Chief. Proposals will be discussed in Spring and Fall of each year, and the proposers will be notified afterwards.  To be considered for the Spring and Fall discussion, proposals should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief by March 1 and October 1, respectively.  Please note that articles that are submitted for a special issue will follow the same review process as regular articles.

《教学科学》是一本国际学习科学杂志，旨在促进对学习的性质、理论和实践以及学习环境的更深入了解。该杂志对学习和教学的概念很广泛，认识到有很多方法可以激发和支持学习。该杂志鼓励所有年龄段、所有课程领域、技术丰富或精简环境以及非正式和正式学习情境中的人们提交研究论文，涵盖学习科学和学习的各种观点。该杂志强调原始实证研究报告，为主要研究的全面详细报告提供了空间。无论主题如何，在该杂志上发表的论文都通过提出对学习环境的设计和实施的影响，为学习和教学科学做出了明确的贡献。我们特别鼓励提交强调学习过程和学习环境之间的相互作用、关注有意义的学习并认识到情境的作用的论文。论文的特点是方法多样，例如，从实验室环境中的实验研究到定性研究，再到真实学习环境中的基于设计的研究。编辑偶尔会邀请专家就该领域的重要主题撰写评论文章。当评论文章被考虑发表时，它们必须处理学习和学习环境领域的核心问题。该期刊接受复制研究。这样的研究应该复制该领域的一个重要的开创性的发现，来自最初由不同研究小组进行的研究。大多数年份，《教学科学》都会就期刊范围的核心主题出版客座编辑的专题特刊。特刊的提案可以发送给主编。提案将在每年的春季和秋季进行讨论，提案者将在之后收到通知。要想参加春季和秋季的讨论，提案应分别在 3 月 1 日和 10 月 1 日之前发送给主编。请注意，提交的特刊文章将遵循与常规文章相同的审核流程。

Instructional Science创刊于1971年，由Springer Nature出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖Multiple全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 ，影响因子指数2.6，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
