The Journal for Science Education at the Crossroads
The Journal for Science Education at the Crossroads
Purpose: The Journal for Science Education at the Crossroads nurtures, facilitates, supports, and promotes a community of science education scholars. The goal is to publicize and perpetuate the experiences and energy rooted within the Science Education at the Crossroads conference series. By creating and maintaining a dedicated space for the research and scholarship of science education, the Journal for Science Education at the Crossroads is prophetic, caring, dialogic, and democratic.
Mission: A crossroads is the place where those on different paths can meet, not only accommodating travelers from many origins, but also redirects them toward appropriate destinations. So too does the Journal for Science Education at the Crossroads, as a representation of a body politic, seek to reach beyond traditional science education research and scholarship and to engage the larger science education community in multiple forms. With a vision to transgress restrictive boundaries and prevailing norms, the Journal for Science Education at the Crossroads offers multiple complementary as well as contradictory voices that provide a tapestry of authenticity for and about a complex, messy and impure world of science education.
Content: The Journal for Science Education at the Crossroads consists of peer-reviewed materials that deepen and continue conversations that were initiated within Science Education at the Crossroads conferences. More than describing completed tasks or finished products, contributions extend dialogues and invite commentary on a variety of issues within the realm of science education.
Authorship: Authorship of manuscripts submitted to the Journal for Science Education at the Crossroad is restricted. Authors are from those who have attended at least one Science Education at the Crossroads gathering. Manuscripts from other than this population will not be reviewed. The aforementioned may be a single author or one of multiple authors.
