About

Aims and scope

This internationally refereed journal is an academic response to the increased public and educational interest in learning and understanding about the wider world. The journal publishes the outcomes of educational research and current debates on development education, global learning, global education, and global citizenship education. These approaches to education have their roots primarily in the practice of non-governmental organisations and in formal education. However, the field has moved beyond a concern for improving public understanding of development, to a focus on how approaches to education and pedagogy enhance critical engagement with global issues. Development education, global learning, global education, and global citizenship encompass approaches to education and learning that challenge learners to link their own experience to the realities of inequality, poverty, sustainability and other global issues, with the aim of contributing positively in both their own contexts and globally.

The journal therefore brings key discussions and debates to the international academic and research community and highlights the richness and importance of this neglected area of academic work. Its purpose is to help advance theoretical and empirical understanding of development education and global learning through a focus on both research and reviewing policy and practice in the field.

The criteria for submissions are:

  1. they are analytical and critical,
  2. the ideas being discussed are transferable to other educational systems and cultures, and
  3. they are accessible to an international audience.


The journal has an internationally renowned editorial board of academics from around the world and will involve civil society bodies and NGOs through specially commissioned articles that review practice in different countries.


Publication frequency: The International Journal of Development Education and Global Learning is published twice a year, in June and December.
