| Journal of Educational Computing Research (JECR) | Sage Journals | Peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary scholarly journal that publishes research reports and critical analyses on educational computing to both theorists and practitioners.The Journal features articles useful for practitioners and theorists alike. | |
| Journal of Technology and Teacher Education (JTATE) | Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education (SITE) | JTATE serves as a forum for the exchange of knowledge about the use of information technology in teacher education. Journal content covers preservice and inservice teacher education, graduate programs in areas such as curriculum and instruction, educational administration, staff development instructional technology, and educational computing. | |
| Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching (JCMST) | Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE) | JCMST is a highly respected scholarly journal which offers an in-depth forum for the interchange of information in the fields of science, mathematics, and computer science. JCMST is the only periodical devoted specifically to using information technology in the teaching of mathematics and science. | |
| Journal of Educational Research and Practice | Walden University | Peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for studies and dialogue about developments and change in the field of education and learning. The journal includes research and related content that examine current relevant educational issues and processes. The aim is to provide readers with knowledge and with strategies to use that knowledge in educational or learning environments. JERAP focuses on education at all levels and in any setting, and includes peer-reviewed research reports, commentaries, book reviews, interviews of prominent individuals, and reports about educational practice. | |
| International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education | Interdisciplinary publication of original research and writing on education which publishes papers to international audiences of educational researchers. This journal aims to provide a forum for scholarly understanding of the field of education and plays an important role in promoting the process that accumulated knowledge, values, and skills are transmitted from one generation to another; and to make methods and contents of evaluation and research in education available to teachers, administrators and research workers. | ||
| Educational Research: Theory and Practice | Northern Rocky Mountain Educational Research Association | Published online at least twice per year and is received by all members of NRMERA. It contains scholarly articles that come from a wide range of disciplines and that are of general significance to the educational research community. ERTP also publishes special issues in which the entire journal is devoted to a special topic, guest edited by a member of NRMERA with expertise in the topic area. ERTP may also serve as the publishing home to conference proceedings from the annual conference of the organization. | |
| Journal of Contemporary Issues in Education (JCIE) | University of Alberta | Open access, peer reviewed journal that is currently published twice a year. The JCIE is committed to publishing original articles by eminent and emerging scholars that take a critical and interdisciplinary approach on a variety of issues in education from diverse contexts. The journal is open to both field-based research and conceptual and theoretical works; it especially welcomes critical scholarship that aims to contest conventional assumptions about educational and social development contexts and relationships. | |
| TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning | Association for Educational Communications and Technology | TechTrends is a leading publication for professionals in the educational communication and technology field. As such its major purposes are: to provide a vehicle for the exchange of information among professional practitioners concerning the management of media and programs, the application of educational technology principles and techniques to instructional programs, corporate and military training, and any other kinds of information that can contribute to the advancement of knowledge of practice in the field. |
Conference website URLs often change. A simple search should get you to the correct site for the current year.
| Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education (ITiCSE) | ACM | The Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education (ITiCSE) has been held annually since 1996. Formed as the second conference sponsored by the Special Interest Group for Computing Education (SIGCSE), ITiCSE has been held in or around Europe for most of its history. After an experimental conference in South America in 2016 that ultimately resulted in the creation of the ACM Global Computing Education Conference, the SIGCSE Board committed to holding ITiCSE in Europe indefinitely. | |
| Special Interest Group Computer Science Education Technical Symposium (SIGCSE TS) | ACM | The Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education is organized by the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE) and is the organization’s flagship conference. It has been held annually in February or March in North America since 1970. The SIGCSE organization provides a forum for educators to discuss issues related to the development, implementation, and/or evaluation of computing programs, curricula, and courses, as well as syllabi, laboratories, and other elements of teaching and pedagogy. | |
| Frontiers in Education | IEEE | Research, experience reports, and work-in-progress papers that are focused on engineering education. | |
| Conference on International Computing Education Research (ICER) | ACM | Computing education, as a research discipline, is the study of how people come to understand computational processes and devices, and how to improve that understanding. As computation becomes ubiquitous in our world, understanding of computing in order to design, structure, maintain, and utilize these technologies becomes increasingly important both for the technology professional, but also for the technologically literate citizen. | |
| Research in Equity and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology (RESPECT) | IEEE | The Annual Conference on Research in Equity and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology (RESPECT) is the premier venue for research on equity, inclusion and justice in computing and computing education. | |
| Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON) | IEEE | The conference serves as a catalyst for connecting local and international stakeholders hence adding value to the global dialogue on how to positively contribute to the solution of the world’s engineering education. |
