Educational Research, the journal of the NFER, was established in 1958. Drawing upon projects in universities and research centres worldwide, it is a leading forum for informed thinking on issues of contemporary concern in education.
The journal is of interest to academics, researchers and those people concerned with mediating research findings to policy makers and practitioners.
Educational Research has a broad scope and contains research studies, reviews of research, discussion pieces, short reports and book reviews in all areas of the education field.
Education and Neuroscience: Evidence, Theory and Practical Application is the special issue of Educational Research for 2008. Guest-edited by Paul Howard-Jones (Graduate School of Education, University of Bristol, UK), the issue brings together a stimulating and accessible collection of original research papers that explore the contribution of neuroscience to educational research and practice. Topics include dyslexia, dyscalculia, creativity in drama, musical education, mathematical reasoning and a critique of popular ‘brain-based’ approaches to learning in the light of research evidence.

This year, the National Foundation for Educational Research is celebrating fifty years of the journal’s publication. The close relationship between the journal and the Foundation began in November 1958, with the launch of Educational Research. Through the decades, under the continued editorship of the NFER, the journal has thrived and developed into its present-day format: a peer-review Routledge journal with a wide scope and international readership.
The current editors of Educational Research, Frances Brill and Felicity Fletcher-Campbell, have marked this important anniversary by writing a commemorative editorial entitled "Fifty Years On: Contrasts and Connections in Educational Research", published in Volume 50, Issue 1 of the journal. In this piece, they compare the issues, debates and research methodologies present in articles published in the early years with those found within the pages of recent volumes. |
