RicercAzione is a six-monthly journal that was founded in 2009 on the initiative of IPRASE, the Institute for Educational Research and Experimentation of the Autonomous Province of Trento.
It is a scientific journal that intends to promote knowledge, guidelines and practices concerning educational research, innovation and teaching in local, national and international contexts. It contains contributions of theoretical and empirical research on teaching and educational practices and is addressed to those who work in education as well as to researchers, training providers and local decision makers.
Since of 2019, RicercAzione consists of three sections: the Research section, whose contributions are published with DOI and follow the scientific standards of peer reviewed articles, the Experiences and Reflections section and the Reviews section, whose contributions offer opportunities for reflection and professional development for those who work in schools. These contributions use various writing formats (narratives of experiences, interviews, documents, reviews...) for which the double-blind review process is not foreseen, are directly accepted by the editors and are not identified by a specific DOI.
RicercAzione provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
