AIMS AND SCOPE

Hiroshima Journal of Mathematics Education (HJME) is the official English-language journal of the Japan Academic Society of Mathematics Education (JASME), and is devoted to research that seeks to improve the mathematics education. It is an annual peer-reviewed and open-access international journal that publishes original papers written in English. HJME was founded by the Department of Mathematics Education at Hiroshima University. Articles have been published by JASME since Volume 12 was issued in 2019.

The journal is dedicated to the dissemination of research findings on mathematics education at all levels (e.g., from preschool to university, professional development, lifelong education) on a variety of issues related to the teaching and learning of mathematics (e.g., students’ understanding, classroom teaching, curricula, policy, teacher education). It is open to any type of research (e.g., theoretical, empirical, methodological, qualitative/quantitative). Papers dealing with Japanese mathematics education issues or issues of special interest to the Japanese mathematics education community are particularly welcome.

Paper submissions are welcome from contributors from different sectors (e.g., researchers, educators, and practitioners) who are interested in contributing to the development of mathematics education and its research. HJME is expected to promote reflection on mathematics education and communication among international researchers, educators, and practitioners in mathematics education. Papers are published in either of two HJME sections: original paper and lecture notes. The original paper reflects the main topics of the journal. All papers submitted to this section are peer-reviewed, with an emphasis on papers of an excellent level. Lecture note includes records or materials of scientific events (e.g., invited talks, symposia) organized by JASME
