Research in Dance Education aims to inform, stimulate and promote the development of research in dance education and is relevant to both learners and teachers. The desire to improve the quality and provision of dance education through lively and critical debate, and the dissemination of research findings is uppermost.The journal sets out to include contributors from a wide and diverse community of researchers. This extends to all aspects of dance in education, providing opportunities for both experienced and less experienced researchers. The journal encourages a wide range of research approaches and methods, in a forum for debate. An international audience will be attracted to the comparative study of dance teaching and learning, which the journal encompasses. Issues of pedagogy and subject content are addressed in relation to creating, performing and viewing dance in various contexts. The role and value of Dance as part of Arts Education and the connections with other Arts practitioners is also addressed.The research field of Research in Dance Education includes: all phases of education, pre-school to higher education and beyond; teaching and learning in dance, theory and practice; new technology; professional dance artists in education; learning in and through dance; aesthetic and artistic education; dance and the arts; dance and physical education; training dance teachers: initial teacher education, continuing professional development, dance degrees, and professional dance training; examination dance; dance therapy; special educational needs; community dance and youth dance; dance in society: gender, ethnicity, class, religion, economics; psychological issues: self esteem, motivation, body image, creativity, philosophy and the arts, and research methods and methodologies.The Perspectives section aims to re-publish significant work, which may no longer be available in print, to a wider readership. Articles are either of historical interest per se, or the issues addressed are so fundamental they remain relevant today. The section Editor welcomes suggestions of specific articles that you would like to see reproduced in future volumes of the journal. Recommendations should be accompanied by a photocopy of the article (with full reference) and a brief statement explaining why it is proposed for reprinting. The main purpose of the Dancelines section is to showcase outstanding student writing and to offer a supportive environment in which comparatively inexperienced student or recently graduated authors could gain confidence and develop their writing skills. One of the main intentions is to encourage scholarship and enthusiasm to write about dance and thus Dancelines is seen as acting as a seedbed for future writers. Both undergraduate and postgraduate work, normally between 3000 and 6000 words long is welcomed - the key criterion being that the work is publishable in an academic journal.Viewpoints is a section in which contributors can share opinions, comment critically on published papers, frame and explore topical issues, contribute short notes, questions, letters, or comments in response to material already printed in the journal. Brief notes of 500 words to considered pieces of up to 1,500 are invited.

Research in Energy Sources aims to investigate technological advancements that would support gradual energy transition towards decarbonization of existing energy systems and energy generation technologies, considering environmental impacts and economic feasibility of investigated systems, processes or energy technologies.

Research in Human Development is moving away from an isolated emphasis on particular stages ranging from infancy to later adulthood and from a reduction of multiple levels of organization to variables or processes associated with one discipline. Accordingly, Research in Human Development (RHD) seeks to promote a shift away from research focused on development at particular stages (early childhood, adolescence, middle age, older adulthood) and from separate fields of inquiry to a more inclusive, integrative, and interdisciplinary approach to the study of human development across the entire life span. The integration of the person and his or her context across life is the focus of the scholarship promoted by this journal; as such, multilevel, multivariate, and integrative longitudinal study of person-context relations is emphasized in these publications. Specifically, an interdisciplinary focus that integratively incorporates biological, psychological, sociological, anthropological, economic, and historical perspectives is stressed in the pages of RHD. To encompass such breadth, the publications incorporate a variety of research methods--from quantitative to qualitative.Moreover, the journal seeks to promote scholarship on the social, cultural, national, and global contexts of human development across diverse ethnic and racial groups employing multiple methods. Finally, RHD seeks to promote scholarship that informs and changes public policies and social programs that promote positive and healthy human development for all people. In short, by providing a forum for research that is life-span oriented, interdisciplinary, contextual, and methodologically diverse, the journal will significantly advance the field of human development.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Research in Mathematics Education is an international English language journal, publishing original refereed articles on all aspects of mathematics education. Papers should address the central issues in terms which are of relevance across educational systems and informed by wider thinking in the field.The journal has three sections, covering research papers, book reviews, and current reports.The Research Papers section contains reports of studies involving empirical investigation and theoretical argumentation from which conclusions and implications can be drawn for future research and practice. Such reports are expected to show how the study builds on critical review of relevant literature and to provide an account of the methods and procedures used. Reports on thoughtful replications or variations of key earlier studies are welcome, as are critical reviews of some well-defined aspect of mathematics education. The journal welcomes high-quality research in any methodological tradition and is open to innovative and unusual approaches. All submissions are peer-reviewed.The Current Reports section contains short summaries of research papers which have been recently published in the online informal proceedings of the meetings of BSRLM.The Book Reviews section contains reviews of recent publications in the field. While reviews may focus on individual works, they may examine several recent publications on cognate topics.

This international, fully-refereed journal, reports on research in the increasingly important area of post-compulsory education.Throughout the world, there is a growing awareness of the significance of vocational and post-compulsory education and training systems. The majority of countries are working hard to develop their provision, recognising the importance of post-compulsory education in providing educated and skilled people in sufficient numbers at appropriate levels to assist economic and social development. Research in Post-Compulsory Education, sponsored by the United Kingdom's Further Education Research Association (FERA), recognises the need for more international research and analysis and the generation of relevant theory in order to identify policy needs and trends as well as priorities in this growing area. While reporting current research, the journal also actively encourages the further development of research for post-compulsory education.Research in Post-Compulsory Education is essential reading for policy-makers and researchers, practitioners and practitioner-researchers in all the different spheres of post-compulsory education including vocational/technical education, adult and continuing education, community education, schools, further and higher education. The Editorial Board and Advisory Board members are drawn from many counties to take account of the need for wide representation and editorial expertise.Peer Review Policy:All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing normally by two or three anonymous refereesDisclaimer for Scientific, Technical and Social Science publications:Taylor & Francis and the Further Education Research Association makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
