The International Journal for Lesson and Learning Studies publishes studies that aim to improve the quality of teaching and learning through teachers’ practice-based inquiry, experimentation and learning. Studies may take the form of action research, design experiments, formative study or other pedagogical research designed to foster a democratic, discursive and action-oriented inquiry process.
The journal strives to promote interdisciplinary and cross-national collaboration among schoolteachers, teacher educators and educational researchers.
