Abstract

“We hope, in this journal, to foster new ways of thinking about learning and teaching that will allow the cognitive sciences to have an impact on the practice of education,” Janet Kolodner wrote in her inaugural editorial of Journal of the Learning Sciences (1991, p. 1). In subsequent decades, that emphasis has not changed. In fact, the current editors recently reminded us that this journal could be a leader in supporting real-world improvement in educational systems (Yoon & van Aalst, 2017). To nourish further growth in this area, the journal explicitly invites contributions that help us, as a community, understand how the learning sciences can (better) impact policy and practice.
