IAFOR Journal of Education

The IAFOR Journal of Education is an internationally reviewed and editorially independent interdisciplinary journal associated with IAFOR’s international conferences on education. The first issue was published in May 2013, and the journal continues to publish a minimum of two issues per year. The IAFOR Journal of Education is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, international and intercultural journal. The journal encourages interdisciplinary research, with the primary focus being on addressing critical issues and current trends and research in education. This would include exploring significant themes, exceptional programs and promising practice in the field of education, and educational policy. The anticipated audience is preservice and inservice teachers and administrators, university faculty and students, education policy makers, and others interested in educational research. Volume 5 Issue 2 features articles on a diverse range of topics, from student disengagement, empowerment in adult learning and teachers' perceived IT proficiency, to learners' cheating practices, contemplative learning for female prison inmates, and white teachers' reactions to the racial treatment of middle-school black boys.
