Objectives

IJIIE aims to present research across a wide scope based on the interconnection between education and innovation, based on the following notions:

• Innovation involves invention: this means doing something differently or finding new ways of approaching old problems.
• Innovation often involves incremental change: subtle changes over a longer period of time can produce innovation, sometimes more effectively than waiting for the grand-gesture change.
• Innovation should not be confused with the latest trend, which is more likely to be the latest fashion than a genuinely different way of doing things.
• Innovation is focused on improvement: change for change's sake is pointless.

In particular, we are keen to explore and examine the diversity in the current and future education landscape worldwide. We are also interested in how innovation and diversity may be an integral part of a coherent and powerful classroom, school or education system strategy, and the dilemmas and tensions faced in pursuing innovation while maintaining quality assurance in education.

Authors submitting to IJIIE are required to point out clearly the innovative aspect of their educational work in order to be considered for publication.

Readership

IJIIE aims to promote understanding and dialogue across national and cultural borders on the issues of innovation in education by serving as a platform where new theories and research findings can be shared internationally. The journal will be of interest to and welcomes worldwide contributions from academics, researchers, policy makers, school leaders and education practitioners.

Contents

The journal publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, case studies and book reviews. Special Issues devoted to important topics with regard to innovation in education will occasionally be published.
