Call for papers: Special issue on Research Methods, Methodologies, and Philosophy of Science in Educational Research

2025-11-17

This special issue aims to address the need for systematic knowledge development around methodological and epistemological questions in educational research. It seeks to critically examine dominant approaches and the challenges they present across all levels of education—from early childhood to higher education.

The growth of educational research in the Nordic region is partly due to the introduction of mandatory master's degrees for teachers and the expansion of teacher education programs. This has led to a surge in master's theses and research activity, prompting critical reflection on how educational research is conducted and how methodological choices shape knowledge production.

Despite this growth, recent studies highlight a methodological lag—pointing to a need for stronger theoretical grounding and critical reflection on research methods.

Deadline for submission of papers: June 30, 2026

Vol 10 Nr. 1 (2026): Thematic Issue: Diverse Perspectives on Decolonizing the Field of Comparative and International Education
A book with maps and a pair of eye glasses

Traditional research has centered on the subjugation of indigenous and marginalized people, and comparative and international education (CIE) research is no different. Interest in challenging the long-held structures within the field of CIE has increased over the past decades. A growing number of authors and researchers are interested in a critical approach towards their subjects and have sought to decenter colonial structures perpetuated within modernity. And yet, modern implications of coloniality persist in every field of research. For a paradigm shift to occur, (post)coloniality and racial capitalism must be interrogated from multiple perspectives, positionalities, and cultural contexts.
