Pedagogical trends Journal: call for abstracts

The call to submit articles for the Pedagogical Trends Journal of the Autonomous University of Madrid is open (Vol. 35). The edition is entitled “Future possibilities for schools and education” and is coordinated by Dr. Cristóbal Cobo (Ceibal Foundation, Uruguay) and Dr. Mariano Norodowsky (Universidad Torcuato di Tella, Argentina).

The purpose of the edition is to understand and reflect about possible future scenarios linked to schooling processes.

From this it is that the following questions arise:

The call is aimed at all those interested in contributing their theoretical approach, based on evidence, about the problems raised. Critical, creative, and multidisciplinary proposals will be especially valued.

The maximum date for receipt of articles is May 15, 2019.

Expected date of publication: first semester of 2020.
