The ZEP - Journal for International Educational Research and Developmental Education is an educational science journal that was first published in 1978 and appears four times a year. It is run by the Society for Intercultural Educational Research and Developmental Education e. V. and KommEnt. The management is carried out by Caroline Rau, based at the Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg / Chair for General Pedagogy. Annette Scheunpflug is in charge of the publication management.
Content and goals
In the quarterly themed issues of the ZEP, scientists have their say who deal in empirical and systematic work with the challenges of globalization for education, global learning and development pedagogy as well as with the challenges that arise from development cooperation in the education sector. In the thematic booklets, complex theoretical relationships are taken up and explained with clear questions. Experiences and problems from practice are also addressed in such a way that they provide important impulses for the scientific discussion.
The aim of the magazine is to reflect (global) social developments as a challenge for education. The target group of the journal are educationalists working in this field as well as colleagues from related disciplines such as global learning and development cooperation as well as multipliers of global learning in the school sector.
history
ZEP first appeared in 1978, initially self-published. After the Working Group Third World withdrew the publisher's position for personnel reasons at the end of 1979 and Alfred K. Treml took over the personal publisher's position, it was subsequently published by the Haag and Herchen Verlag Frankfurt , the Stattwerke Verlag Essen (1983–1985) and, after a short period, self-published published by Wochenschau-Verlag Schwalbach . After the latter ceased sales in 1989 for financial reasons, readers and employees connected to the ZEP founded the Schöppe and Schwarzenbart publishing house , in which the ZEP has appeared since 1990.
Since 1993 the ZEP has been the communication organ of the commission "Educational Research with the Third World" in the German Society for Educational Science (DGfE). The change in the name of the magazine with the addition of the focus on international educational research does justice to the work of this commission, which represents both aspects - educational work in the Third World and educational work in the Federal Republic. In 2005, the DGfE commission merged with the “ Comparative Education ” commission. Since then, the ZEP has been the communication organ of the “Comparative and International Educational Science” commissions.
From 1994 the ZEP was published by the publishing house for intercultural communication in Frankfurt. A permanent section with news from the VENRO education sector was set up . In 1999 the "VENRO" column was introduced, in which reports on developmental pedagogical activities of VENRO and its member organizations are presented.
In 2005, the ZEP editorial team started a cooperation with the British Development Education Journal until it was discontinued in 2008. At the same time, a new international journal for developmental education was created.
In August 2008, the ZEP editorship changed to the international science publisher Waxmann .
Promotion and cooperation
The magazine receives funding from the Evangelical Development Service (committee for development-related education and journalism) in Bonn .
The ZEP cooperates with the DGfE Commission Comparative and International Educational Science VIE. The editorial team is made up of members of the commission, and news from the commission is regularly published in a separate section.
