First published in 1951, this publication has long served as an important
forum for scholarship and debate in the foundations of education. Sponsored by the John Dewey Society
and the Philosophy of
Education Society, and supported by several other scholarly associations, Educational Theory has always
had a central concern with
issues in the philosophy of education. As work in the field of education has moved from strictly
disciplinary to increasingly interdisciplinary
modes, Educational Theory has sought to represent the best of both discipline-based and
interdisciplinary scholarship. Indeed, for us
these have never been conflicting purposesÍž the best interdisciplinary work always has a strong
disciplinary core.
