Ensaio Research in Science Education

About the Journal

Continuous flow journal, peer reviewed, that publishes national and international articles that are unpublished, of empirical or theoretical nature, with topics of interest to the field of research in science education and its interlocutions with the social and human sciences. The journal seeks to keep criteria of academic rigor and social and educational relevance.

The publishing of the journal Ensaio Research in Science Education is the responsibility of the Center for Science and Mathematics Teaching - CECIMIG (www.fae.ufmg/cecimig), a research and extension agency in the area of science education of the Faculty of Education of UFMG. The journal also has the support of the Graduate Program in Education at UFMG (Level 7 at Capes) and inter-institutional partnerships in the composition of our editorial board: Brazilian (UFOP, UFJF, UFES, CEFET-RJ, UNESP, UFSC, UFABC, USP, UFRB) and international institutions (King's College of London, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, University of Groningen).

The journal was first published in 1999. Later, it was available online three times a year (April, August and December). In 2017, it became available in a single annual volume, accepting articles in continuous flow.

Over the last twenty years, we have sought to consolidate ourselves as a reference journal in the field of science education. We always seek to improve our process of receiving, evaluating and publishing articles, relying on a qualified editorial team, with the support of collaborators from different institutions.

Its abbreviated title is Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. (Belo Horizonte), which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references, and strips.
