So while the site says it “publishes research outcomes with significant contributions to the understanding and improvement of the educational processes” and “This scientific Journal … pretends to be an international space for discussion and critique through the presentation of theoretical and empirical evidences that could favour educational equity and the advancement of our societies” you should ignore the clumsy online translation and just go immediately to the Current or Archives links… [Read full review]
