Aims & Scope
The Journal of Social Science Education (JSSE) was founded in 2000 in order to offer the disciplines in the field of social science education a representative scholarly publication. The journal represents a sophisticated image that is characterised by its theory and research orientation, interdisciplinary approach, internationalism and originality as well as by a rigorous anonymous peer review. Theory and research orientation: The Journal of Social Science Education (JSSE) is a theory and research oriented journal of social science education and related disciplines and field. Theoretical discussions on education, teaching and learning and related empirical research are its centre of interest. Of course, scholarly perspectives on practices of teaching and learning and the discussion of policies, empirical results, and research methods are included. Interdisciplinary approach: The JSSE promotes the dialogue among the disciplines of social science education and between them and the social sciences. It is committed to the ideas of cooperation and interdisciplinary research. Therefore, the editors of the JSSE prefer topics which are rele-vant for more than one specialist discipline of social science education or social sciences. Internationalism: The JSSE offers a forum for the dialogue across national borders and puts a particular stress on a European perspective and on research on and practices of European countries. That is why the journal prefers themes that are of multinational or supranational, especially European relevance and papers that deal with topics related to the diverse discourses in Europe. Originality: In addition, the JSSE prefers contributions that stimulate and enrich the scholarly discourse through their originality and innova-tiveness, e.g. by developing new concepts, applying unconventional methods or exceeding the borders of conventional discourses...
