Journal of Geoscience Education
Julie Libarkin and Joe Elkins - Editors
The Journal of Geoscience Education (JGE) is the premier peer-reviewed publication for geoscience education research at the undergraduate and pre-college levels. JGE is the publication of record for NAGT, and serves as the only international forum for the publication of research concerning the pedagogy, assessment, and philosophy of teaching and learning about the geosciences.
JGE is published five times per year in January, March, May, September and November. Each issue typically consists of between six and 10 research papers as well as recurring columns on topics such as educational research, mathematical geology, precollege education, and common geological misconceptions. JGE also frequently sponsors Special Issues on important emerging topics such as Teaching in the Field and Teaching Quantitative Skills.
