Time to read the latest edition of AIJRE! A special edition focusing on Connecting Rural and Urban Education Research, edited by Melyssa Fuqua, Robyn Henderson, Cheryl Glowrey, & Karl Maton.

SPOTLIGHT! In this edition we revisit an article that has been influential in Australian and international teacher education contexts from 2011. The rural social space model (Reid et al, 2010) has helped support many teachers and researchers understand rurality.

In this article a research team from UTAS consider how the implementation of Girls’ Programming Network (GPN) in rural Tasmania influences adolescent girls’ willingness to participate in informal STEM education. Contact them for more information!

In this article Nini Zhang, Dongqing Yu and Karen Gao consider how rural teachers perceived and experienced cooperation between families and kindergarten teachers.

Mander & Lester consider the sleep quality of boarding school students and the impacts for boarding students from regional and remote communities in Years 7 to 12 in the latest edition of AIJRE.
