Invitation for Papers and Notes for
Contributors
An invitation to share
-
Geographical Education is a refereed
journal. Articles submitted to Geographical Education for
consideration in the Refereed Articles section are reviewed
anonymously by a minimum of two referees. Articles are selected by
the Editor based on the outcome of the anonymous reviews and
ratified by the Journal Advisory Committee. Authors of accepted
articles are sent guidelines for their final submission.
Contributions to other sections such as Book Reviews and Reports
are not refereed. The ISSN for Geographical Education is ISSN 0085
0969.
-
We invite your participation in
producing this journal. Geographical Education encourages school,
university teachers and all others interested in geography to
share their ideas and experiences in order to promote sound
practice, innovative strategies, modern developments and
reflection in geographical education.
-
Contributions of varying length are
invited, with a maximum of 5000 words for major articles and
research reports. Shorter articles of 2000 words, featuring
classroom strategies, reflections on particular issues and
practices in geography teaching, in-service education workshops
and comments on previous articles are especially
welcome.
-
Lesson plans, teaching units and
how-to-do-it advice on classroom and field skills are also invited
as long as they have relevance for a broad range of teachers
across Australia.
