Scope
The historical beginnings of the field of learning environments go back approximately
40 years. A milestone in the development of this field was the establishment in
1984 of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Special Interest
Group (SIG) on Learning Environments, which continues to thrive today as one of
AERA’s most international and essful SIGs. A second milestone in the learning
environments field was the birth in 1998 of Learning Environments Research: An
International Journal (LER), which fills an important and unique niche.
The next logical step in the evolution of the field of learning environments is the
initiation of this book series, Advances in Learning Environments Research, to
complement the work of the AERA SIG and LER. This book series provides a
forum for the publication of book-length manuscripts that enable topics to be covered
at a depth and breadth not permitted within the scope of either a conference paper
or a journal article.
The Advances in Learning Environments Research series is intended to be broad,
covering either authored books or edited volumes, and either original research
reports or reviews of bodies of past research. A diversity of theoretical frameworks
and research methods, including use of multimethods, is encouraged. In addition
to school and university learning environments, the
