CALL FOR PAPERS
LATISS - Learning and Teaching in the Social Sciences is a refereed journal
that aims to use the disciplines of sociology, anthropology, politics,
international relations and social policy to reflect critically on learning
and teaching practices in higher education and to analyse their
relationship to changes in higher education policies and institutions.
The research field of Learning and Teaching in the Social Sciences will
include:
* all aspects of learning and teaching and higher education reform from
national and comparative perspectives
* evidence based developments in curriculum, assessment, learning and
teaching methods
* analyses of impacts of institutional and national policies on learning
and teaching - e.g. widening access, employability, audit, quality
enhancement
Each volume will have some articles on a common theme. The overall theme
for 2004 is Changing Landscapes of Higher Education.
The journal seeks to promote scholarship and research on learning and
teaching and invites contributions from a wide and diverse community of
practitioners, researchers and students. All contributions should be
written in a clear and accessible style, avoiding the use of jargon.
Contributions are likely to fall into one of four categories
* Articles (5000-6000 words) extending the knowledge base through original
research and scholarship.
* Essays (3000-4000 words) offering new perspectives and stimulating debate.
* Reports (1000-2500 words) of research in progress and innovations in
practice.
* Reviews (600-1000 words) of relevant recent publications, electronic
media and software and conferences.
