About the Journal
Focus and scope
Páginas de Educación is a refereed journal published by the Universidad Católica del Uruguay. The journal seeks to establish a bridge between academic research and professional experience from the conviction in the synergy that is generated by intertwining scientific knowledge with field practices. Its mission is to offer a rigorous academic platform where these voices converge. Páginas de Educación is aimed at researchers in educational sciences and professionals in that area, school psychologists and educational psychologists, providing content that enriches and broadens their perspectives and knowledge.
The topics of interest for the magazine are initial training and professional teacher development; coexistence, well-being and inclusion; teaching, learning and assessment; pedagogical leadership, educational management and curricular design. The journal receives applications for research articles, systematic literature reviews, and short communications in Spanish. Occasionally, it publishes articles in English and Portuguese. In addition, each year it offers a dossier or thematic issue with a guest co-editor. Since 2024 preprints are accepted.
