Aims and Scope

The focus and scope accepted in JETSAR is the ethical study and application of theory, research, and practices to advance knowledge, improve learning and performance, and empower learners through strategic design, management, implementation, and evaluation of learning experiences and environments using appropriate processes and resources.

The Research Section specifically welcomes qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods studies that examine the application of theory, technology, design within the educational environment. The context of the area ranges from basic education (K-12), higher education to adult learning (e.g. professional and vocational training). Manuscripts that address trends and issues, literature reviews are also included in this section. This section publishes well-written articles that highlight research aspects, the application of theory in learning practices and provide a comprehensive source of research in the field of Educational Technology.

The development section publishes research on the design, implementation, evaluation and management of various learning technologies and learning environments. Empirical evidence-based technology evaluations, as well as the results of trials of innovative technologies for learning are welcome in the Development section. The research or study should address the impact, implications, future plans and empirical evidence that relates the results to the conclusions on the technology that has been developed.

In addition to these two sections, Journal of Educational Technology on Studies and Applied Research also publishes special issues in accordance with emerging trends and issues in the educational technology environment.
