The Independent Journal of Teaching and Learning (The IJTL) adds value to the research community and more specifically those in the field of education, as well as lecturers and teachers in various disciplines, by providing a focused medium for academic writing in the field of education generally, but with an emphasis on teaching and learning. The IJTL accepts articles from the primary, secondary and tertiary levels, thus providing output across the education sector to multiple practitioners. The journal contributes various articles that have an emphasis on application and can thus be utilised as best practice or as a stimulus for developing further innovative teaching and learning methods.

Furthermore, The IJTL provides perspectives from both independently owned and public education institutions at the primary, secondary and tertiary education levels. Given the growth of this education sector and the increasing synergy between it and the public education sector, this has become an important area to consider.

To this end, over the publication history, The IJTL has had articles that have spanned the primary, secondary and tertiary education sectors. This focus on teaching and learning is imperative for research in South Africa, and contributes to both the local and international trends of a focus on teaching and learning in multiple contexts. The research published in The IJTL strongly aligns with both governmental and quasi-governmental institutions' priorities of ensuring that teaching and learning practice is researched, tried, tested, and shared. Furthermore, it is important to deal with the issues associated with teaching and learning, such as quality assurance, institutional strategy, and the like. These have a direct impact on the teaching and learning agenda of the institution and thereby the quality of the learning experience for learners and students.

The following types of articles are published in the IJTL:

• Research–based, empirical, reflective, theoretical or synoptic articles that would be of interest to the educational practitioner;
• Review articles that critically examine research carried out in a specific field;
• Discussion or advocacy papers in the section entitled ‘Practitioners’ Corner; and
• Book reviews that comprise a clear and concise evaluation of recently published books.

English is the Publication Language for Articles, Abstracts and Keywords.

The journal publishes 2 issues per annum in May and November.

Key abbreviated title is J. indep. teach. learn. (Online)
