Special Issue

We are excited to announce the publication of Volume 1, Issue 1 of the Journal of Competitive Learning (JCL), a new peer-reviewed journal dedicated to exploring the role of competition as a dynamic strategy for engaging students in learning. While rooted in the fields of computer science and technology—where competitive approaches such as coding contests, hackathons, and gamified assessments are widely used—JCL welcomes interdisciplinary contributions that examine competitive learning across diverse educational contexts. This inaugural issue showcases innovative research and practical insights aimed at advancing our understanding of how structured competition can enhance motivation, collaboration, and achievement in education.
