Further Information: Journal Purpose

This journal is a vehicle for the academics who are involved in pedagogic research to disseminate their work to a wider audience. Participants are drawn from different components of the third level sector including vocational, further and higher education. Such a graduate journal is a good place to learn the ‘ropes’ of the publishing process, and try out ideas in early stages of research. If you are thinking of ways to disseminate your evidence-based practice, case studies are an excellent way to achieve impact and visibility of research work; sources of inspiration for your paper can be current "hot topics", your reflective teaching notes or of course, your own research.

Journal Focus and Scope

IJAP articles are drawn from areas of learning, teaching, technology and professional development. Emphasis is on innovative practices in teaching and learning. Articles are from graduates of related postgraduate programmes at TU Dublin, holders of Teaching Fellowships, and academic staff locally, nationally and internationally engaged in pedagogic research.
