Journal of Research in Science Teaching (JRST)

The Journal of Research in Science Teaching, first published in 1963, is one of the leading international journals in the field of science education research. Published ten times per year by Wiley‑Blackwell for NARST: A Worldwide Organization for Improving Science Teaching and Learning Through Research, the journal offers a globally recognized forum for reporting cutting‑edge empirical and theoretical research that advances understanding of how science is taught and learned. Its peer‑reviewed content spans a rich diversity of topics and methodologies, encouraging contributions that push boundaries across qualitative, quantitative, mixed‑methods, ethnographic, experimental, historical, and philosophical approaches. Research articles commonly address issues such as students’ conceptual development in science, teacher cognition and practice, the design and evaluation of innovative instructional environments, assessment of science learning, science teacher education, and the influence of policy contexts on classroom practices. Additionally, the journal publishes policy perspectives, critical reviews, and scholarly debates that bridge research and practice. As the official journal of NARST, Journal of Research in Science Teaching plays a critical role in shaping the international science education research agenda, attracting contributions from scholars worldwide and informing educators, policymakers, and researchers dedicated to improving science education in diverse socio‑cultural contexts.
