Call for Papers – Research Methods in Geographical Education
A forthcoming international edited volume provisionally titled Research Methods in Geographical Education (planned with Springer, within the EUROGEO / Key Challenges in Geography context)
The volume focuses specifically on research methods as adapted and applied to geography education—for example: teaching and learning research, curriculum and textbook studies, teacher education and professional development, assessment/measurement, fieldwork and place-based learning in educational contexts, and digital/geospatial approaches (GIS/Web-GIS/GeoAI) for education research.
At this stage, we are only collecting short “statements of intention.”
There is no need to prepare a final title or abstract yet. A brief reply indicating:
- whether you intend (or tentatively intend) to contribute a chapter, and
- which methodological area/section you would most likely contribute to (aligned with our provisional Table of Contents)
would be perfectly sufficient. Please note that chapter titles and framings are provisional and can be refined collaboratively with the editors.
Next steps and timeline: after we sign the publishing agreement with Springer, we will contact interested colleagues again to collect a final chapter title and short abstract, with a deadline of March 2026 for that abstract stage. Official author guidelines (format, length, citation style, etc.) will be shared after the contract stage.
