Go to submission site (link opens in a new window) Professional Development in Education is a fully refereed international journal that publishes original contributions on professional learning and development (PLD) in its widest sense. The field of PLD has developed and changed over recent years, and so too has Professional Development in Education. Growing from its roots in 1974 as a British journal talking about 'in-service education' in schools, it has become a highly-regarded international journal focusing on professional learning and development in and beyond school education across the globe.
The journal aims to push thinking in the field in a more critical and diverse way, and we welcome both empirical and conceptual articles that can add something new to the literature on PLD across a wide range of professions. In particular, we are interested in receiving articles which:
Our strapline is 'more than a journal', and the Editorial Board seeks to enact this through active engagement in PLD networks, supporting and organising symposia and events, encouraging dialogue with eminent scholars of PLD and contributing in an active way to the mentoring and development of new scholars in the field.
We invite contributions to the journal which will enable us to fulfil and go beyond these aims.
Peer Review Policy:
