Reflections on the Nordic Journal of STEM Education: Strengthening a Nordic STEM education community
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.5324/njsteme.v1i1.2423Abstract
This journal is a new arena for “scholarship that matters”, particularly welcome due to its Nordic scope, STEM education focus, open access, and language options. By disseminating ideas, experiences, and credible evidence, it can help improve our understanding of consequential issues and support the advancement of education. By offering opportunities to learn about and build upon the work of others, it can strengthen the community, and increase the legitimacy of our work. Here, some reflections are made on the positioning and potentials of the journal.
