Mission Statement:
The Journal of Educational Research & Policy Studies (formerly the Arkansas Educational Research & Policy Studies Journal), now a national, refereed scholarly publication, seeks quality manuscripts for consideration and possible inclusion in forthcoming issues. The Journal is published twice yearly at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville.
The Journal's purpose is to furnish a national interdisciplinary forum for the consideration of meaningful education research initiatives and policy analyses. Topics of interest , from pre-K to collegiate levels, encompass teaching and learning, child development, charter schools, federal and state education policies, accountability measures, home schooling, student achievement assessment, alternative reform initiatives, and innovative school reforms, among others.
With its expansion from a state to a national medium, the Journal aspires to serve as a juried source for the latest empirical research on current issues in education as well as significant policy developments and trends in American schooling. Of special interest are articles that are critical and interpretive in character rather than simply descriptive. Both quantitative and qualitative research paradigms are honored, though the former is stressed over the latter.
