Journal Description

Research Articles

Editors: Magdolna Chrappán – Krisztina Czető – Magdolna Kimmel

One of the most important aims of Teacher Education and Learning is to provide an opportunity for professionals to present their current research results and thus to promote and enhance the development of the teacher education profession. The Editors of the journal strongly believe that knowledge sharing can support cooperation, professional thinking, and foster inspiration. In line with this mission, this section of Teacher Education and Learning publishes scholarly articles on teacher education and encourages submissions of research articles of both theoretical and empirical research that present the current trends of the field. Articles that take a historical perspective are also welcome, as well as articles analysing international trends which may have an impact on Hungarian teacher education. Submission of an article to Teacher Education and Learning implies that it has not been published previously nor is it simultaneously under consideration at another journal for publication.  

Professional Learning Communities

Editors: Sándor Lénárd – Judit Podráczky

The journal’s mission is to establish a strong connection between educational research and practice by involving the readers in its creation; therefore, in this section Teacher Education and Learning publishes essays and short articles about innovations in teacher education, descriptions of experiences and of on-going research. We also aim to provide a forum for practising teachers so that they can share their best practices and innovations that might have a direct impact on the practice of pre-service or in-service teacher education. In short, in this section our journal publishes articles deeply connected to the practice of teacher education and learning.
