Current Research

CITE-Current Research (a merger of CITE-Current Practice and CITE-General) is a section in the peer-reviewed, open-access CITE journal sponsored by the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education (SITE). It serves as a dynamic platform for publishing scholarly work that explores the integration of technology in teacher education across the core disciplines and a range of contexts. We encourage submission of empirical studies and theoretical articles on the use of innovative technologies, approaches, and frameworks in teacher education. Submissions for CITE-Current Research should have a broad interdisciplinary basis, extending beyond the core content areas already covered in the CITE Journal (i.e., mathematics, science, English, and social studies). This includes work supported by professional development initiatives, promising practices with implementation data, and models/frameworks grounded in current literature. CITE-Current Research reviews only submissions that focus on the intersection of teacher education and technology.

We encourage authors to take advantage of the online medium to demonstrate the technologies they are discussing. These might include photographs of classes or activities, or links to relevant websites. Additionally, links to audio and video streaming media can be incorporated into articles for illustrative purposes.

We encourage ongoing dialog as well. Therefore, if you peruse an article in the Current Research section that is of interest, we invite you to respond with a short (one or two-page) scholarly commentary that builds upon and expands the foundation established through prior articles and commentaries. Commentaries are peer-reviewed and, if accepted, will be published in a linked commentary section associated with the article.
