Call for Papers
The journal Criticæ launches its third issue, which will be published in January 2024. Criticae is a annual publication that welcomes research focused on the relevance of critical thinking and its promotion in the classroom through different methodological resources.
The editorial board receives and evaluates articles, monographic proposals and reviews conceived from the Humanities and Social Sciences. Although its main focus is on Higher Education, research and educational experiences developed in Primary and Secondary Education are also welcome.
The journal accepts publications in Spanish and English.
