Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs (JORSEN)
Journal Descriptions
The Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs (often abbreviated JORSEN) was founded in 2001 as an international outlet for scholarship focused on deprivation, learning challenges, disability, and inclusive approaches within educational contexts. It is published three times a year by Wiley‑Blackwell for the UK’s National Association for Special Educational Needs (nasen), a leading professional body advocating for evidence‑informed SEN practice across educational systems. The journal’s mission is to propel research that not only expands theoretical understanding but also informs policy formulation and practical interventions that resonate with educators, researchers, and policymakers alike. By featuring a blend of high‑quality empirical research, compelling theoretical discussions, and incisive methodological reflections, JORSEN contributes to advancing the knowledge base in special educational needs and inclusive education. Topics often explored include identification and classification of SEN, pedagogical strategies for diverse learners, equity and access issues, and evaluations of SEN provision across different international contexts. With its emphasis on evidence‑based practice, JORSEN promotes research that has real‑world applicability and fosters inclusive learning conditions where all students—even those with significant learning needs—can participate, thrive, and achieve academic success. The journal’s broad international reach and interdisciplinary scope make it a respected voice in the field of special education research.
