International Journal of Training Research

Journal overview

Research journal of the Australian Vocational Education and Training Research Association

The International Journal of Training Research (ISSN 1448-0220) is a peer-refereed journal that is published three times a year. The journal publishes articles that advance knowledge and understanding of vocational education and training (VET) in Australia and internationally. The journal focuses on current or recently completed research and reviews of research on training, technical education and vocational education, and publishes original research, articles and book reviews.

Journal articles address the interests of researchers, educators, trainers, policy-makers, skills capacity planners, and undergraduate and postgraduate students in training, technical education and vocational education.

The International Journal of Training Research began as the Australian Journal of TAFE Research and Development in 1985 when it was published by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) in Adelaide. In 1993, the journal changed its focus and name to the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Vocational Education Research (ISSN 1039-4001) under the editorship of Professor John Stevenson (Griffith University) and was published by the NCVER. In 2002, the journal underwent a third transformation, changing its name to the International Journal of Training Research and passing to AVETRA as the leading national body representing VET researchers. It is now published in association with the Australian Vocational Education and Training Research Association (AVETRA).
