Announcing the fall 2008 issue of the Journal for Computing Teachers (JCT)

 

The fall 2008 issue of JCT is now available at http://iste.org/JCT.
This publication is a project of the ISTE's SIG for Computing Teachers (SIGCT).

JCT is a K-12 oriented online periodical where the emphasis is on teaching
about computing. JCT is published under the auspices of the Special Interest
Group for Computer Teachers (SIGCT) in the International Society for
Technology in Education (ISTE). The primary mission of SIGCT is to enhance
precollege computing instruction.

 

Submission topics include but are not limited to:

Academic and research articles relating to the teaching of
computing in K-12 education

Pedagogical articles describing and explaining the rationale for
some teaching practice, approach, or lesson

Theoretical articles explaining or arguing particular principles
or models of learning, teaching, curriculum development, content
perspective-taking, etc.

Explanatory articles providing teachers with professional
development information (e.g., understanding hardware and software,
conceptual understanding, etc.)

Reports concerning computing (e.g., curriculum and policy
recommendations)


Submissions are either editor reviewed or peer reviewed. The author decides
which one. In the "editor reviewed" process, articles are reviewed by the
editor. In the "peer-reviewed" portion of the journal, manuscripts are
acknowledged by the editor upon receipt and, after a preliminary review to
judge their appropriateness for JCT, are sent to at least two members of the
Editorial Review Board. Following the completion of the review process, the
editor contacts the author(s) to accept the paper for publication, to accept
the paper conditional on the completion of any recommended revisions, or to
reject it.

For additional information about the journal and submission guidelines for
authors, go to  http://www.iste.org/JCT. Potential
authors do not have to be members of ISTE or SIGCT to publish in JCT. The
submission deadline for the spring 2009 issue is March 1, 2009.

Also, members for the Editorial Review Board for the Journal for Computing
Teachers are sought. Your name would be included in the list of members of
the Editorial Review Board. The quality of JCT's peer review process is
reliant upon the efforts of qualified professionals.

Please consider contributing to the Journal for Computing Teachers and/or
being on the Editorial Review Board. For further information on submitting
papers and/or the Editorial Review Board, contact John Thompson, Editor.

Please enjoy this fall 20008 issue of JCT. The spring 2009 issue is
scheduled to be available online in May 2009.
