Note to Contributors
We solicit high quality
articles which are easy to understand and that are of interest to science
and mathematics classroom teachers and teacher educators. We especially encourage articles from
classroom teachers and that which is in the form of an action research
report or evaluation study.
We prefer the use of simple
English with little or non use of technical jargons and complex statistical
arguments. (Otherwise, you may want to
consider publishing your article in the International Journal of Science
& Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, a peer reviewed journal
published by RECSAM)
The following are some guideline for your article (but
don’t let this intimidate you)
Submission of Typescripts
Your paper should be original work and not, in any
manner, in breach of copyright. You are requested to provide an electronic
copy of the manuscript in a Microsoft Word file to expedite the publication
process. Electronic copies can be sent by e-mail or in CD-ROM in
‘crush-proof’ packing. If your
article contains videos, audio or applets/flashlets, the total size must
not exceed 5 MB.
Dateline for submission is 31
July for the November issue of that year.
Editorial conventions. Articles should be in English,
typed single-spaced, using A4 paper size, portrait orientated with one inch
