Our Journal

The Eton Journal for Innovation and Research in Education publishes pieces by teachers, academics, pupils, and experts aiming to advance our understanding of what works in teaching and learning.

The Eton Journal for Innovation and Research in Education was launched in 2018. The articles include research pieces, reflections, student voice, and theoretical pieces, among others. The aim of the journal is to understand interdisciplinary approaches to issues around education and teaching and learning. We want to provide a platform for educators and teachers from different professional backgrounds to publish their work and encourage an active dialogue across contexts.

Issue 6: Reflections on Teaching and Learning

18 June 2022

This issue of the journal seeks to explore some of the changes that teachers have made to their practice and considers the factors that influenced those changes. One of the aims of the reflective process is to encourage teachers to work with others as a way of sharing best practice and drawing upon other practitioners for support. We hope that this issue of the journal will function in a similar way.

Issue 5: Human fulfilment and the aims of education

2 July 2021

This journal issue takes the discussion a step further and we are hoping to re-imagine education through reflecting on what the aims of education are and how it can contribute towards human fulfilment. There is a growing body of academics and educators working in the space of human flourishing, education which promotes happiness, and character education, all of which link to the idea of how education can ensure students fulfil their potential during and after their education. This journal issue forms part of this wider discussion, and the contributors come from and draw upon several disciplines and theoretical standpoints.

Issue 4: Education post-COVID-19

24 November 2020

The articles in this issue- whether research, reflective accounts, or opinion pieces, drawing upon numerous areas and disciplines - all invite us to pause and to reflect on our practice and our understanding of education. Few events in history have brought such rapid changes in the way we operate and conduct our lives. Perhaps, as the articles in this issue suggest, this is a time to act upon the saying that ‘we should never waste a good crisis’.

12 June 2020

The articles for this issue and the theme ‘Tradition and Change’ were decided before the unprecedented changes brought upon education by Covid-19. At the beginning of this year, no one could have predicted that months would be spent in front of screens while students were learning remotely or that half the world’s student population would be out of school or university.

14 June 2019

The OECD (2019) report on how social, political and economic forces affect education trends is very timely. It poses questions about whether education is about preparing pupils for a future dominated by AI, how an ageing population will cope with lifelong learning, and what the impact of climate change will be not only on schools but also on communities and families.
