Author Guidelines
The African Journal of Educational Studies in Mathematics and Sciences (AJESMS) is an international publication for works of high academic quality. It aims at generating fresh scholarly inquiry and exposition in the fields of Mathematics, Science Education and related disciplines. Efforts will be made to present in each volume of the journal works in various components of Mathematics and Sciences as they are related or embedded in education. In so doing, it will offer a forum of familiarizing the world with the goings-on in research endeavours and original thoughts in these important fields of human learning.
NATURE AND COVERAGE
The African Journal of Educational Studies in Mathematics and Sciences will be a forum for publishing works of high academic quality. It is intended to generate a fresh scholarly inquiry and exposition in the fields of Mathematics and Science Education and related disciplines in so far as they relate to human conditions and interactions for the scientific and technological development of African nations.
Therefore, the publication of works, which reflect new theoretical approaches, works of original thoughts and those, which report empirical findings in mathematics and Science Education at all levels of educational systems, will be the focus of the journal. To this end, manuscripts of interest to researchers and practitioners at all levels of mathematics and science education, involving all kinds of research, major reviews of other works and books, position papers, comments and critiques on the state of the art in Mathematics and Science Education in Africa will be of high priority.
It will be a peer review journal, which will be published annually. The two issues shall constitute a volume. It is hoped that the maiden issue will appear in June 2001.
