Journal Guide

The Journal of Technology Education publishes international, peer-reviewed, research articles related to the PK-12 curricular area of technology and engineering education (T&EE), and its teacher education. T&EE typically engages students in learning that is hands-on, involving problem-solving and design. T&EE is intended for all students regardless of their future occupation. While the focus is sometimes confused with educational technology or career and technical education, T&EE students learn about technologies ranging from material processing, energy, biotechnologies, and robotics, to electronics, transportation, construction, computer technologies, and communications with the goal of improving their technological literacy and engineering literacy.

SEE is an international, open-access, peer reviewed journal that provides a venue for high-quality research conducted in all settings and contexts relevant to engineering education, with an emphasis on contextually rich reflective discussions of issues and approaches important to engineering education researchers and practitioners.

SEE focuses on interpretive research paradigms and invites a wide range of studies that help expand the body of knowledge in engineering education, including ethnographic, anthropological, phenomenological, and other forms of empirical research, as well as literature reviews and theoretical or conceptual articles that seek to frame critical issues in the field. Studies can be conducted in any context relevant to engineering education, including K-12, higher education, classroom settings, and the engineering workplace.

To support an intellectually vibrant vision of the field, SEE encourages rich and thorough descriptions of all aspects of research, including theoretical frameworks, epistemological underpinnings, researcher backgrounds and perspectives, impacts of contextual factors in data collection, research quality, and other appropriate aspects.

To promote dialogue among scholars, the journal also welcomes respectful and productive commentary & response pieces that engage individual articles and authors in deeper discussions of the implications of the work.
