AIMS & SCOPE
Since 2000, the Magyar Református Nevelés [Hungarian Reformed Education] (MRN) journal has been published primarily as a nationally distributed journal for teachers working in Hungarian Reformed public education and for members of Reformed congregations. From the very beginning, the mission of the journal was to serve the cause of Hungarian Reformed education, to be a mediating link between the actors of Reformed pedagogy, from kindergarten education to the higher education system. Between 2012 and 2017, there were no financial or human resources to edit and publish the magazine.In autumn 2017, on the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, we relaunched it, now in digital format.
Magyar Református Nevelés is a peer-reviewed academic journal focusing on educational theory, pedagogy, and educational practice within the framework of church and state education. The journal publishes original research articles, theoretical studies, and methodological articles on public education, teacher training, religious education, and education policy. Its primary audience is researchers, teacher trainers, and professionals working in the Reformed public education network.
Our aim is that the articles published in the journal should be scientifically rigorous in both their wording and style, while at the same time serving the purpose of educational dissemination. In addition to peer-reviewed studies, workshops, reports and reviews may also be published in the MRN. We would like to provide a forum for all those involved in Reformed education, and we encourage and invite teachers and students of Reformed higher education, as well as practising teachers in public education institutions, to honour us with their manuscripts. Our journal has four thematic issues a year, but the Workshop and Reviews sections may be published outside these thematic areas. From 2024 onwards, we will make peer-reviewed papers available for download separately, with a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) number.
