About the Journal

Our Mission & Vision

Mission: Educational Engineering is a peer-reviewed, international journal dedicated to advancing the systematic and evidence-based improvement of learning. We champion a broad interpretation of "engineering" as a rigorous methodology for designing, implementing, analyzing, and scaling effective educational interventions. The journal's mission is to publish high-impact research that bridges theory with practice, whether through the creation of novel technologies or the empirical validation of innovative pedagogical strategies.

Vision: We envision a future where all learners have access to a rich ecosystem of effective and engaging educational opportunities. Educational Engineering aims to be the leading intellectual forum that shapes this future, fostering a diverse community of researchers and practitioners committed to the ethical, evidence-based evolution of education.


Aims & Scope

Educational Engineering welcomes high-quality, original research from a wide range of disciplines that contributes to the understanding and improvement of learning. We value contributions that demonstrate methodological rigor, clear theoretical grounding, and tangible implications for educational practice. The journal is a home for both technically-oriented research on learning systems and empirically-grounded studies of educational interventions.

The scope of the journal is broad and interdisciplinary, including but not limited to:

I. Pedagogical Innovation & Curriculum Research

  • Empirical studies on the effectiveness and implementation of technology-enhanced curricula and novel pedagogical models (e.g., project-based learning, collaborative learning, inquiry-based learning).

  • Design, development, and validation of innovative assessment methods, including formative and summative assessments in digital environments.

  • Research on the cultivation of 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, creativity, and self-regulated learning.

  • Comparative studies of different instructional strategies and learning environments.

II. Digital Learning Environments and Tools

  • The design, development, and pedagogical evaluation of digital learning tools, platforms, and environments.

  • Studies on the application and impact of emerging technologies (e.g., Generative AI, VR/AR, Robotics) in formal and informal educational settings.

  • Research on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in education, focusing on usability, learner engagement, and accessibility.

  • Design and evaluation of online and blended learning environments.

III. Learning Analytics and Data-Informed Improvement

  • Application of Learning Analytics and Educational Data Mining to understand and optimize learning processes.

  • Research on providing data-driven, actionable feedback to learners, educators, and administrators.

  • Multimodal analysis of learning to gain deeper insights into cognitive, affective, and social processes.

  • Studies that connect learner behaviors in digital environments to meaningful educational outcomes.

IV. Scaling and Implementation Science in Education

  • Research on the factors that enable the successful scaling and sustainability of effective educational innovations.

  • Systems-level analysis of educational organizations and workflows.

  • Studies on professional development and teacher training for integrating new technologies and pedagogies.
