Abstract
The Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education (CJSMTE) is celebrating its 20 years in 2020. This paper compares the data from the 2009 review (Wallace, 2009) and the 2015 review (Wiseman & Pegg, 2015) to the data from the past 20 years, from 2001 to 2020. The findings suggest that there was an increase in mathematics education articles, balancing the proportion of science articles to mathematics articles, as well as an increased focus on technology education articles and STEM articles. In very recent volumes, the journal has increased the number of articles from five or six per issue to 12 articles per issue in its transition to Springer. The findings support the 2015 review findings that CJSMTE has increased the number of contributions from other countries around the world. The journal should continue to encourage manuscripts from Africa and South America to further pursue its international recognition.
Résumé
La Revue canadienne de l’enseignement des sciences, des mathématiques et de la technologie (CJSMTE) célèbre son vingtième anniversaire en 2020. Cet article compare les données de l’examen de 2009 (Wallace, 2009) et de l’examen de 2015 (Wiseman & Pegg, 2015) aux données des 20 dernières années, soit de 2001 à 2020. Les résultats indiquent qu’il y a eu une augmentation du nombre d’articles sur l’enseignement des mathématiques, équilibrant ainsi la proportion d’articles sur la science par rapport aux articles sur les mathématiques, ainsi qu’une concentration accrue sur les articles sur l’enseignement de la technologie et sur les STEM au cours des cinq dernières années. Dans des volumes très récents, le nombre d’articles dans la revue est passé de 5 ou 6 par numéro à 12 par numéro lors de sa transition vers Springer. Les résultats confirment les conclusions de l’examen de 2015 selon lesquelles le CJSMTE a augmenté le nombre de contributions en provenance d’autres pays dans le monde. La revue devrait continuer à encourager les manuscrits d’Afrique et d’Amérique du Sud afin de poursuivre sur la voie de sa reconnaissance internationale.
