Aims & Scope

The Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education publishes original research that makes a significant contribution to advancing knowledge and understanding of the complexities of teacher education across early childhood, primary, secondary, vocational, and higher education, and other formal and informal settings in which teachers work.

These issues of relevance to the Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education are:

  • Teacher education, including initial teacher education and ongoing professional education.
  • The cultural, economic, political, social, practice-based, and/or technological dimensions and contexts of teacher education.
  • Change, stability, reform and resistance in (and relating to) teacher education.
