Trending and Emerging
- Antifascist Education:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pedagogical Approaches:
There is a noticeable decline in discussions surrounding traditional pedagogical methods, as the journal increasingly favors innovative and critical approaches that challenge established norms. - General Educational Policy Analysis:
While educational policy remains important, the journal has moved away from broad analyses of policies to more focused critiques of specific policies related to social justice and equity. - Historical Contexts of Education:
Research that solely focuses on historical educational contexts without tying them to contemporary issues or critical pedagogy appears to be less frequent, indicating a shift towards a more present-oriented analysis. - Standardized Testing and Assessment:
Discussions on standardized testing and traditional assessment methods have decreased, as the focus has shifted towards more holistic and inclusive forms of evaluation that consider diverse learner needs. - Neoliberal Critiques in Isolation:
Although critiques of neoliberalism are still present, they are increasingly integrated into broader discussions of social justice rather than being treated as standalone topics.
