Journal of the Learning Sciences (JLS)

Journal of the Learning Sciences (JLS) is one of the two official journals of the International Society of the Learning Sciences ( www.isls.org). JLS provides a multidisciplinary forum for research on education and learning that informs theories of how people learn and the design of learning environments. It publishes research that elucidates processes of learning, and the ways in which learning environments, pedagogical practices, and tools can be designed to support learning in different contexts. Founded in 1991, JLS emerged alongside the formation of the Learning Sciences field, reconciling and putting into conversation the competing, compelling, and revolutionary explanations of human behavior and development, drawing on perspectives on cognition and culture, and making urgent an interdisciplinary approach to the study of learning. JLS draws on core theoretical frameworks from cognitive science, sociocultural theory, educational psychology, computer science, and anthropology. As the field matures and continues to grow, the range of frameworks and perspectives now encompasses historical, ecological and critical perspectives that direct us towards questions of equity, justice, and considerations of power in learning processes and learning environments. As globalization brings our diverse practices and contexts in communication with one another, and technological advancements change how learning happens, JLS continues to meet the needs of our evolving field, with publications that expand “what counts” as the learning sciences.
