Announcing the new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal for the Study of Education and Development
Taylor & Francis / Routledge and Fundación Infancia y Aprendizaje are pleased to announce that Dr. Alfredo Bautista, Associate Professor & Associate Head at the Department of Early Childhood Education, and Co-Director of the Centre for Educational and Developmental Sciences, both at The Education University of Hong Kong, will become the new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal for the Study of Education and Development (JSED) (Infancia y Aprendizaje) starting January 1, 2022.
About the Editor
Dr. Bautista’s career has spanned several countries across three different continents. He completed his education in Spain, where he studied Psychology and Music (classical piano). After obtaining his PhD at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, he worked as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Victoria (Canada) and Tufts University (Boston, United States). Subsequently, he joined Singapore’s National Institute of Education, where he served as Research Scientist and Assistant Dean (Professional Learning). In 2018, he joined The Education University of Hong Kong.
His research focuses on curriculum, pedagogy and teacher professional development. The wide thematic and methodological range of his publications speaks to Dr. Bautista’s multifaceted profile as a scholar: arts education (particularly music), mathematics and science education, STEAM, psychomotricity, play… While he is currently centered on early childhood education, his research has addressed most educational levels: primary and secondary schools, music conservatories, and higher education. This broad-ranging array of themes, age levels, and methodologies provide Dr. Bautista with a finely-tuned sensitivity to human development that flawlessly matches both the JSED’s historical trajectory and its present aims and scope.
He has collaborated with several international peer-reviewed journals, both as an Associate Editor (JSED, Psychology, Society, & Education, Pedagogies: An International Journal, Publicaciones) and as an Editorial Board Member (International Journal of Early Childhood, International Journal for Research in Education, SN Social Sciences, LÉEME). Moreover, Dr. Bautista has a unique relationship with JSED, where he has played multiple roles within the editorial board, apart from contributing as reviewer and author. He started serving as Editorial Assistant in 2005, followed by Managing Editor, Associate Editor, Special Issue Editor, and now Editor-in-Chief.
Dr. Bautista’s international career, diverse research focus, and long-standing editorial experience, combined with the extensive network of fellow scholars hailing from both English and Spanish-speaking countries and institutions he has build over the years, ensure both the continuity and the growth of the journal. With his strategic view for the future of developmental and educational science publications, and a hands-on approach to team-building, the journal is in a great position to reach Dr. Bautista’s goal for his tenure: to become an internationally inclusive showcase of the latest research on the psychology of human development, learning, and education throughout the lifespan.
Dr. Bautista’s work will build on the outstanding leadership of Dr. Bárbara M. Brizuela, outgoing Editor-in-Chief of JSED. We thank her for her excellent service to the journal over the last five years.

El amplio abanico temático y metodológico de sus publicaciones subrayan el perfil multifacético del Dr. Bautista como investigador: educación artística (especialmente en música), educación matemática y científica, STEAM, psicomotricidad, juego…
Actualmente sus estudios se centran en el periodo de educación infantil, aunque sus trabajos anteriores han abordado otras etapas y contextos educativos: escuelas primaria y secundaria, conservatorios de música, educación superior. Esta amplitud de temas, niveles educativos y metodologías refleja la sintonía y sensibilidad del Dr. Bautista con el desarrollo humano, ajustándose a la perfección tanto a la trayectoria histórica de Infancia y Aprendizaje como a sus actuales metas y objetivos.
Ha trabajado en diversas revistas internacionales revisadas por pares como Editor Asociado (JSED, Psychology, Society, & Education, Pedagogies: An International Journal, Publicaciones) y como miembro del Equipo Editorial (International Journal of Early Childhood, International Journal for Research in Education, SN Social Sciences, LÉEME). Además, el Dr. Bautista ha mantenido una relación única con JSED, donde ha desempeñado múltiples roles dentro del equipo editorial, además de contribuir como revisor y autor. Comenzó como Asistente Editorial en 2005, continuando como Coordinador Editorial, Editor Asociado, Editor Asociado de números especiales, y ahora Editor General.
El perfil internacional de la carrera académica del Dr. Bautista, su diversidad investigadora, y su extensa experiencia editorial, junto con el apoyo de la amplia red de investigadores de países e instituciones de habla inglesa y española que ha desarrollado hasta la fecha, representan una garantía tanto de la continuidad como del crecimiento de JSED. Con su visión estratégica del futuro de las publicaciones en ciencias del desarrollo y la educación, además de su enfoque cercano y colaborativo a la hora de conformar su equipo editorial, la revista se sitúa en una posición inmejorable para lograr el objetivo que el Dr. Bautista se ha propuesto para este mandato: convertirse en un escaparate inclusivo e internacional de las investigaciones más novedosas en psicología del desarrollo, el aprendizaje y la educación.
El trabajo del Dr. Bautista se apoyará sobre el excelente liderazgo de la Dra. Bárbara M. Brizuela, Editora General saliente de JSED. Le agradecemos su extraordinaria labor al frente de la revista durante los últimos cinco años.
