Hello, we are Daniela Schroeter andRebecca Woodland, the co-editors of the T&L section of AJE. We are professors, trainers, and evaluation practitioners, and encourage you to consider submitting an article for publication in the Teaching and Learning section of AJE. Daniela has special expertise in interdisciplinary theory and methodology, and Rebecca’s scholarship has focused on the measurement of organizational networks and collaboration. We look forward to sharing our vision for the section and some tips to engage you in the publication process.
Our Vision for the Teaching & Learning Section
Teaching matters! Do you care deeply about evaluator competencies and what practitioners should know, understand, or be able to do? We seek to publish pieces in the T&L section that advance our thinking about teaching and learning of evaluation in formal and informal settings and across diverse national and international contexts, communities, and disciplines.
We seek scholarly contributions that clearly focus on teaching and learning of evaluation theory, methodology, or practice. What evaluation-specific issue is being learned about or taught? Who is learning and teaching? What instructional strategies are being used?
Hot Tips:
While a wide range of contributions are relevant for the scope of the T&L section, we are particularly interested in these submission types:
- Research studies of any systematic design: Are you systematically studying the way in which you teach evaluation? How so? What can we learn about innovative teaching methods, pedagogical/ andragogical issues, or educational constructs among others?
- Conceptual frameworks: Do you have a conceptual framework about how teaching and learning of evaluation might work? Is that framework grounded in evidence (literature, original data, prior evaluations, and metaevaluations)?
- Teaching and learning strategies: Do you have case examples from critical practice with rich descriptions of aims, strategies, and learning outcomes linked to teaching and learning of evaluation that our community could benefit from?

Perhaps the most useful resource for authors and readers alike is the link to AJE‘s author guidelines and T&L Section specifics: https://journals.sagepub.com/description/AJE (scroll to the end for T&L details!)
