Recommended Journals on Teaching Practice and Pedagogy


Higher education journals

Higher education journals typically publish work by higher education professionals including faculty and administrators. You will find a broader range of articles than just pedagogy, and typically more theoretical and policy-related work. Many have been around for a long time and are published by major publishing companies. Few of these are open access.

Higher Education Pedagogy journals

These journals focus more specifically on teaching (pedagogy) in higher education. Many, but not all, of these focus on discipline-based educational research (DBER) with implications for theory and knowledge-building in their discipline. You’ll find a range of articles on pedagogy from theoretical, empirical, instructional, to review.  Some of these are open access.

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Journals

SoTL journals typically publish work by instructors in higher education from a variety of disciplines. The range of articles you see in this journal will vary from empirical pieces to reflective essays or perspectives on SoTL-specific ideas like “signature pedagogies.” Articles are intended for a multi-disciplinary, and often international, audience. Most of these are open access.
