Education and Educational Research (EER)

Section Information

Education and Educational Research focuses on teaching and learning processes, curriculum development, assessment methods, educational technologies, policy, and the social, cultural, and psychological factors that shape educational outcomes. It aims to improve understanding of how people learn and how educational systems can better support learners across different contexts.

Modern research in this field includes instructional design, pedagogical innovation, cognitive and developmental influences on learning, teacher education, educational equity, digital learning environments, policy analysis, and evidence-based practices. Advances in data analytics, learning sciences, neuroscience, and technology-enhanced education continue to transform the field.

This section publishes empirical studies, theoretical analyses, evaluations, reviews, and case reports addressing educational practices, learning processes, institutional improvement, and interdisciplinary approaches that inform effective teaching and educational reform.
