Journal of Education for Teaching (JET) publishes original, significant and rigorous contributions to the field of education, both initial and continuing, of teachers. The journal interprets ’teacher education’ in the widest sense, to include articles from or about the work of academic staff involved with, and responsible for, initial teacher education, continued professional development and the broad field of research into the contribution of the higher education sector contribution to the education of teachers. JET welcomes scholarly discussions of new issues in the field, which would include original and rigorous analyses of the policies and practices involved in preparing people to work in education at any level. JET publishes theoretical, conceptual and qualitative or quantitative empirical studies, funded research projects and review articles, presented as a critical assessment of the material summarised. Two types of papers are published in JET : substantive research papers of up to 6,000 words, and short pieces of up to a strict limit 1,000 words describing Research-in-Progress. Research-in-Progress pieces present preliminary findings of a larger project still underway, heralding substantive papers to come.
