The LSE Editorial Board works with authors who have published in LSE to annotate articles that represent aspects of designing, conducting, interpreting, and presenting educational research (Frantz et al. 2024). This project aims to help scholars who are interested in understanding and applying education research. Below are links to articles and their associated annotations.

Annotated primary literature using a Learning Lens was pioneered by AAAS Science in the Classroom (www.scienceintheclassroom.org), a collection of freely available annotated STEM research papers and accompanying teaching materials. We encourage you to pay them a visit, and consider using their papers in your classroom.
