The Review of Education has seen many important and interesting papers coming through and major developments in education research methodology. We would therefore like to commission a Special Issue for 2018 with a focus on multiple methods of research.
 
It is often the case that studies use a single methodological approach which provides detailed information about some areas of interest but which leaves some questions unanswered. The findings of studies conducted in one context, even though conducted under rigorous conditions, may not apply elsewhere. In education, the complexity of interactions between student development, educational institutional settings, the political agenda and wider environment lends itself to the use of a range of methodologies through which we can make sense of this world in a way that can have more useful application.
 
This special issue of the BERA journal Review of Education will showcase individual studies, collections of studies or fields of investigation which have used a range of research methods to explore the complex facets of an educational issue in considerable depth.
 
Review of Education specialises in publishing substantial papers (8,000-20,000 words) of the highest quality from across the field of education that have a genuinely international reach and orientation.
 
This special issue will be published in the last issue of 2018. If you are interested in submitting a paper for this prestigious collection that will include high-quality papers of methodological and practical significance, please let us know by the 1st December 2017, outlining the nature of your proposed paper.
