About the journal
Thinking Skills and Creativity is a new journal providing a peer-reviewed forum for communication and debate for the community of researchers interested in teaching for thinking and creativity. Papers may represent a variety of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches and may relate to any age level in a diversity of settings: formal and informal, education and work-based.
The journal particularly welcomes several types of research article:
• Studies of teaching and learning processes directly relevant to teaching thinking and fostering creativity;
• Reports of research evaluating the efficacy of programmes, approaches, and innovations in teaching for thinking and creativity;
• Synthetic review articles, and
• Critical theoretical and methodological studies.
The major criteria for the acceptance of a research article will be its relevance, its importance to the field of teaching for thinking and creativity, and its analytical quality.
Each issue will also include a small number of topical 'Keynotes', or discussion pieces. These are shorter articles which raise issues and offer propositions in such a way that is designed to stimulate debate.
The journal will also publish 'Research Notes': short reports of interesting or important research being carried out in the field.
Issues will carry reviews of relevant books and web-sites.
