The Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, and the Australian Teacher Education Association, are strongly committed to the support of high quality, high impact research that makes a significant contribution to the fields associated with teaching and teacher education. Consistent with this agenda we recognize the need to ensure that teacher educators are always and everywhere involved in interrogating the assumptions that underpin our decision making, and the beliefs that guide our actions. Central to this process is the peer review of our research outputs, with rigorous and thoughtful reviews playing a vital role in assuring the legitimacy, integrity and currency of research findings.
