- Design-based research for investigating new approaches to theory and practice and for solving broader social and educational problems.
The Journal of Historical Thinking, Culture, and Education accepts two kinds of articles: original research papers and brief discussions about history education (‘miniatures’).
- The research papers must be between 5000 and 10,000 words long (for main paper including references and literature) and are subject to a double blind peer review.
- The miniatures must be between 1000 and 5000 words long (for main paper including references and literature) and are suitable to initiate discussions about history education in a broader sense. They can include suggestions and ideas for educational innovations, new theoretical concepts, cross-cultural research, interdisciplinary approaches etc. The miniatures are reviewed by the editors.
