Journal overview

The Journal of Geoscience Education (JGE) is a peer-reviewed publication for geoscience education research, and serves as an international forum for research concerning the pedagogy, assessment, and philosophy of teaching and learning about the geosciences and related domains. JGE is a publication of the National Association of Geoscience Teachers, a non-profit, member-driven organization that supports a diverse, inclusive, and thriving community of educators and education researchers to improve teaching and learning about the Earth.

The Journal of Geoscience Education is open to all manuscripts related to learning and teaching in geoscience and related domains. Learning and teaching are broadly construed to include all types of learning, as well as all settings in which learning can occur. Geoscience includes all Earth-related fields, including geology, oceanography, atmospheric science and meteorology, climate science, environmental science, and planetary science, among others, while related fields extend beyond the geosciences to other scientific disciplines, mathematics, and engineering, as well as the social and behaviorual sciences and the humanities.

We publish four types of articles:

Research Articles include both empirical studies of a particular research question and new theoretical or philosophical approaches.

Curriculum and Instruction papers describe new teaching materials or methods and provide evidence for their effectiveness.

Literature Reviews synthesize and evaluate the published literature on a topic within geoscience education research or practice.

Commentaries provide a critical or alternative viewpoint on a key issue or provide insight into an important development that is of broad interest to geoscience educators or researchers.

JGE is committed to peer-review integrity and uphold the highest standards of review. Manuscripts that meet our aims and scope will be single anonymized peer-reviewed by expert referees.
