This journal may be a place to publish, for example, an article on the classroom component of a service-learning course.

The Journal of Classroom Interaction was founded in 1965 to meet the need to share, discuss and disseminate new ideas on research methodology and variables in order to generate new knowledge about classroom interaction. The research interest, agenda and interest in classroom interaction studies has continued to expand to new audiences, including the public schools. Now in its fortieth year, the Journal remains a publication devoted to empirical investigations and theoretical papers dealing with observation techniques, research on student and teacher behavior, and other issues relevant to the domain of classroom interaction.
