The Revista de Investigación Educativa (RIE) is distinguished by its general international profile and its openness to society and the scientific community; especially to professionals interested in educational research. RIE seeks the dissemination of empirical studies, review articles, methodological articles, among others, that respond to issues related to the sections listed below. Besides, it is always open to publishing quality articles focused on educational research. That being said, priority will be given to articles that clearly and rigorously describe the methodology used. For an empirical article to be published in RIE, not only is it required for them to be of widespread interest, but they also need to be transferable and subject to generalization. For this reason, quantitative studies should use samples that strive for representativeness, and qualitative studies should select samples that allow the study phenomenon to be approached in an idiographic, in-depth and detailed manner.
