STUDIES (peer-reviewed)
Theoretical studies present new theoretical approaches or concepts, critically analyzing or comparing existing theories based on "vertical insight" into the topic.
Review studies provide a comprehensive overview and critical analysis of the nature of phenomena, concepts or theories in a "horizontal view".
Methodological studies analyze research approaches, assess their strengths and weaknesses, and show how to properly design research in a particular area of inquiry.
Empirical studies report on an empirical research investigation and meet all the requirements of basic, applied or action research. An empirical study should be structured into the following parts: problem formulation, research methods and procedures used, how empirical data were evaluated, research findings and their interpretation, conclusions and discussion, literature review.
Historical studies focus on the reconstruction of changes in educational and educational discourses, educational processes, main actors and the role of selected educational institutions.
DISCUSSIONS, REPORTS OR REVIEWS (shorter unreviewed texts)
Discussions stimulate a sophisticated discussion of pedagogical issues in a sophisticated way and on the basis of professional arguments.
The reports briefly and concisely report on current events in the professional community at home and abroad. If it is a report on school practice, it should be analytical and include the context of the issue. Reports may also include medallions of important personalities.
Reviews critically and analytically assess recent important publications and evaluate their contribution to the field.
