Communication Education

Editor: Melanie Booth-Butterfield, West Virginia University

Consulting Editors:
Timothy P. Mottet - University of Texas-Pan American
Melissa Bekelja Wanzer - Canisius College

Editorial Assistant:
Sydney M. Staggers  - West Virginia University

Communication Education invites original, social science research on communication in instructional contexts. These should be methodologically rigorous studies that advance practice and theory in instruction generally, and in communication education specifically. I encourage submissions from well-designed, systematic and programmatic research, theoretically-grounded projects, rigorous literature reviews and meta-analyses. Importantly, these studies must be data-based and have a substantive impact on educational processes.

Sound studies that examine constructs that are important to teaching/learning processes will be emphasized; e.g., teacher/student interaction, classroom management, information processing, mediated or technology education, educational communication constructs, development and assessment, and learning outcomes will be considered. Both new and experienced scholars are encouraged to submit their works, and will receive feedback that is both expedient and helpful.All authors must submit articles that meet the highest standards of writing, grammar, and mechanics.

Given the distinctive missions of each of the NCA journals, book reviewsshould be submitted to the more appropriate NCA journal, The Review of Communication, and articles focusing on teaching practices should be submitted to Communication Teacher.
