Abstract

This text reviews the main goals and achievements from the management of Infancia y Aprendizaje (2012–17). We have promoted a dialogue between developmental psychology and educational psychology from a complex and situated approach. We have also created a section for highly regarded authors to chart prospective lines that could have an impact on areas for development within this field of knowledge. In addition, we brought back the debate between theoretical and methodological positions around a central article. Two different calls promoted the training of scientific writers and reviewers, with an analysis of the modifications introduced into the texts from their receipt up to their publication as well as the interactions among author, reviewers and editors. Other calls encouraged research on the training of university teachers, learning in environments favoured by technology, relationships between argumentation and education, and cognitive change as a dynamic process. At an operational level, we highlight the transition to Taylor & Francis, the configuration of a strictly bilingual journal and the thematic and cultural expansion and diversification of the editorial team at its different levels.

Resumen

Se revisan las principales metas y logros de la gestión realizada en Infancia y Aprendizaje (2012–17). Hemos impulsado el diálogo entre la Psicología del desarrollo y la Psicología de la educación desde un enfoque complejo y situado. Creamos una sección para que autoras y autores de referencia trazaran líneas prospectivas que pudiesen incidir en las zonas de desarrollo de esta área de conocimiento. Recuperamos el debate entre posiciones teóricas y metodológicas en torno a un artículo central. Dos convocatorias promovieron la formación de escritores y revisores científicos, con el análisis de las transformaciones de los textos desde su recepción hasta su publicación y de las interacciones entre autor/a, revisores y editores. Otras convocatorias alentaron investigaciones en la formación del profesorado universitario, el aprendizaje en entornos favorecidos por la tecnología, las relaciones entre argumentación y educación, y el cambio cognitivo como proceso dinámico. A nivel operativo se destacan el paso a Taylor & Francis, la configuración de una revista estrictamente bilingüe, y la ampliación y diversificación temática y cultural del equipo editorial en sus diferentes niveles.
