Published by Sage from 2024. Culture and Education (C&E) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles that explore the ways culture and education shape human development. The cultural-historical approach taken in the journal views culture not only as the realm of human customs, values and beliefs, but also as a variety of historically rooted forms of being human; complex and dynamic forms of human production through different types of activity. Education is seen as including both formal and informal institutions and a variety of cultural practices and activity systems (school/preschool education, play pedagogy, indigenous education, health education, family education, professional education, special education, etc.). Education is both universal, and at the same time it is context-specific. Cultural practices involving creativity and social interactions are similarly both universal and specific. Educational practices are by definition cultural practices, and the journal particularly welcomes studies that link culture, education, and human development. Español Cultura y Educación (C&E) es una revista de artículos revisados por pares que publica artículos que exploran las vías por las que la cultura y la educación dan forma al desarrollo humano. El enfoque histórico-cultural de la revista contempla la cultura no solo como el dominio de las costumbres, valores y creencias humanos, sino también como una variedad de formas de lo humano históricamente arraigadas; formas complejas y dinámicas de producciones humanas con base en distintos tipos de actividades. En esta visión, la educación incluye tanto instituciones formales e informales como una variedad de prácticas culturales y sistemas de actividad (educación escolar/preescolar, pedagogía del juego, educación indígena, educación para la salud, educación familiar, educación profesional, educación especial, etc.). La educación es al mismo tiempo universal y específica del contexto. Las prácticas culturales, incluyendo la creatividad y las interacciones sociales, son igualmente universales y específicas. Las prácticas educativas son por definición prácticas culturales, y la revista acogerá con particular interés aquellos estudios que vinculen cultura, educación, y desarrollo humano.Los tipos de artículos admitidos para evaluación incluyen informes de investigación, artículos de posición, descripciones de experiencias didácticas, y descripciones de proyectos educativos innovadores.
