Doing Educational Research Differently.

Values-led research for systemic change, which contributes to the flourishing of Humanity.

EJOLTs provides unique and enriching opportunities for professional practitioners to share their research and expand their knowledge of educational influences in learning, with the potential to contribute to the growth and betterment of our individual and collective humanity. We strongly encourage all practitioner researchers and potential authors to explore EJOLTs.

At the heart of Living Educational Theory Research is the realisation in practice of humanitarian and life-enhancing values, which contribute to bringing into being a safe, peaceful world where humanity flourishes . The Educational Journal of Living Theories (EJOLTs) publishes valid accounts of living-educational-theory research created by practitioner-researchers working in a wide range of global, social, cultural and professional contexts.

EJOLTs publishes peer reviewed, multimedia accounts without cost to authors or readers. Papers go through a very rigorous, educational review process and are published online as soon as accepted and prepared for publication by the Editorial Board.
