ZEP – Journal for International Educational Research and Development Education

With: News from the DGfE Commission for Comparative and International Education & the DGfE Commission for Education for Sustainable Development

Welcome to ZEP – Journal for International Educational Research and Development Education!

Since its foundation in 1978, ZEP has established itself as a leading academic journal in the field of global learning, education for sustainable development, and development education within German-speaking regions. It draws on a range of educational traditions, including equally traditions of development education, ecumenical learning, and liberating educational work. It also engages with ongoing debates on sustainability, decoloniality, and transformation in the field of education encompassing both formal education and civil society learning.

The development of glocal living spaces and everyday worlds is becoming increasingly complex. Prevailing certainties are undergoing a process of dissolution, and new orientations are seldom discernible. This poses a significant challenge in identifying pragmatic solutions to the emerging issues in development education. The objective is to establish a nexus between knowledge and behaviors that promote a future-oriented way of life and social and planetary justice within the framework of social development.

The ZEP was established by Alfred K. Treml in collaboration with the AK Dritte Welt Reutlingen (Third World Working Group Reutlingen).

The ZEP publishes original articles from a variety of traditions. In addition to scientific texts, the journal also publishes experiential and practical articles that provide a foundation for scientific discussion.

 Since 2020, the ZEP has been published four times a year in an open access format. Each issue is distinguished by a particular thematic focus. The submission of articles on an initiative basis is a possibility. The selection of articles is conducted by the editorial board and the editors and/or as part of a double-blind peer review process. Contributions are published in German or English. All articles published in the ZEP since 1978 are available for consultation via the PEDOCS database.
