Aims and Scope
JNUSTA is a peer reviewed, quarterly online educational journal which focuses on the theories and practices circulating within institutions of higher learning. It provides a forum for educators from across the disciplines to showcase pedagogical innovations, present original research in teaching, assessment, and methodologies, and to discuss the teaching of core or life skills (such as critical thinking and communication skills; and issues of ethics and professionalism for example) that characterize a competent university graduate in a global economy. This journal wishes to encourage dialogue between, and the interaction of, discipline-specific needs and approaches even as contributors pay attention to overarching debates in education today. This journal also wishes to serve as the platform for work resulting from academia-industry collaborations, where appropriate. JNUSTA embraces new technologies and encourages authors to include video and audio vignettes, as well as links to relevant podcasts, blogs and websites (after obtaining suitable permissions/institutional clearances wherever necessary).
JNUSTA welcomes articles covering all aspects of pedagogy. Contributions can include any of the following categories:
- Research or Original articles
- Instructional articles
- Commentaries
- From the Desk of...
- Research letters
- Critical responses to articles in current/previous issues
- Book reviews
- Brief anecdotes/sharing a teaching moment
- Short notes on classroom innovations
[Please see the Instructions to Authors for more detailed instructions.]
All submissions undergo a double-blind peer-review process.
