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
