Croll, P. (2023) The nature of contemporary studies of education: an analysis of articles published in leading journals. British Journal of Educational Studies, 71 (5). pp. 537-547. ISSN 1467-8527 doi: 10.1080/00071005.2023.2231523

Abstract/Summary

The article is based on a Keynote Lecture at the 2022 Colloquium of the Society for Educational Studies. It analyses the articles published in four leading journals in 2021 and compares these with the same journals 20 years earlier. Key findings include a considerable increase in authorship and multiple authorship and a very strong international dimension to authorship in current UK-based journals. Two-thirds of the papers were empirical, and by far the most common type of research design was qualitative interview studies, often of a very small-scale nature. Aspects of the teaching profession were the most common form of content, and there was also a focus on social class and multi-cultural issues.
