For this special issue, we invite scholars to submit original research articles, case studies, and theoretical papers that engage with the following themes:

• Comparative analysis of classroom practices pre- and post-reform implementation.
• Subject-specific responses to educational reforms resulting in influencing classroom practices.
• Temporal comparisons of reform implementation (e.g., longitudinal analysis, year-on-year analysis, case comparison across two or more years).
• Cross-national or cross-regional comparisons of specific educational reforms.
• Assessments of multiple reforms on classroom practices within a singular educational context.
• Qualitative and quantitative studies on teacher or student responses to educational reforms.
• Examining the coherence between reform intentions and their practical implementation by exploring policy-practice alignment.

We particularly welcome contributions that incorporate innovative methodological frameworks or protocols to advance our understanding of educational reform implementation.
