Education Journal Celebrates 40 Years Publication



(L-R) Theory Into Practice Editor, Anita Woolfolk Hoy and Managing Editor, Ava M. Stinnett

One of the most highly respected journals within the field of educational research, Ohio State's own Theory Into Practice (TIP) recently marked 40 years of continuous publication. Emanating from within the College of Education, each issue of TIP is organized around a single theme, and features multiple perspectives and scholarly, yet accessible, discussions of current and future concerns of interest to today's educators.

Nationally recognized for excellence in the field of educational journalism by the Educational Press Association of America, TIP is a frequent winner of the Distinguished Achievement Award in the Learned Article category. Currently over 1,500 schools, universities, libraries, and educational researchers subscribe to TIP.

History
In 1962 Theory Into Practice was founded by the College of Education of The Ohio State University. Its first editor was the eminent educational scholar, Egon Guba. The opening page of the inaugural issue stated the journal's mission—both then and now: Committed to the point of view that there is an integral relationship between theory and practice for the Administrator, Teacher, [and] Board Member in the public schools.

Since then, 179 issues have brought together some of the most articulate and thoughtful educational theorists and practitioners to discuss topics ranging from technology to teacher education, from school reform to nonverbal communication, from child and adolescent development to curriculum theory.

To celebrate its anniversary, TIP introduced a new look and a new feature. The covers of the four 40th-anniversary issues carry the names of each contributor to TIP since 1962. The journal is also adding some new features, such as article abstracts, book reviews, and a list of additional classroom resources related to the issue’s theme.

A new web site (see below), a CD-ROM containing the first 40 volumes, and, beginning in 2003, online access to subscribing libraries are just a few of the things planned for TIP's anniversary.
