Dear fellow grads and researchers,
I am happy to inform you of the publication of Educational Insights, 5(1),
which you can read for free at
http://www.csci.educ.ubc.ca/publication/insights/. Thanks to those who
have contributed writings in the past year to the journal and those who
have volunteered as referees.
Educational Insights (EI) is once again inviting contributions of articles
and book reviews to be considered for publication in the next issue. In
the following you will find the guidelines for contributions.
*Please note that EI accepts to equally consider contributions from
those who have received their degrees but are reporting on research
which was conducted as part of a graduate degree program.

EDUCATIONAL INSIGHTS
http://www.csci.educ.ubc.ca/publication/insights/
A peer-reviewed electronic journal of graduate student research, published
by the Centre for the Study of Curriculum and Instruction, Faculty of
Education, the University of British Columbia.
Contribution Guidelines
Educational Insights is a refereed journal dedicated to providing graduate
students a forum for publishing their research in education. The journal
welcomes papers that offer original, thought-provoking, and imaginative
explorations of curriculum theory and practice. It encourages a wide range
of voices, perspectives, positions, and approaches that enlarge our
understanding of the educational process.
Guidelines for Articles
1. Content: The journal seeks articles that are of interest to teacher
educators, graduate students in education, and practising
teachers. Articles may represent perspectives from one or all three
groups. It is particularly important that research is discussed in terms
of its implications for practice.
2. Length and Format: Contributed articles are limited to 3,000 words with
an additional abstract of not more than 150 words. The format generally
conforms to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association (Fourth Edition). To facilitate online publishing, endnotes
are used instead of footnotes.
3. Editorial Process: Article contributions will be initially checked by
the editor. Those that meet the basic requirements will be sent out for
blind review by one graduate student and one faculty member with interests
in the areas concerned. Reviewed articles may be returned to the author
for revision, along with the reviewers' suggestions and
recommendations. Articles recommended for acceptance by the reviewers will
be published only after final approval of the Editorial Board.
Guidelines for Book Reviews
The journal welcomes reviews of recently published books on a wide range
of issues related to education or educational research
methodology. Authors can contribute reviews of books selected on their own
or recommended by the editor. Reviews should be within 600-800 words and
are read by members of the Editorial Board for consideration of
publication.
