The first issue was produced in 1997, with Professor Meshach Ogunniyi from the University of the Western Cape as the founding editor. It was then called the SAARMSTE Journal. Professor John Rogan, from the University of Pretoria, took over as editor in 2001, Professor Cliff Malcolm, from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, in 2004 and Professor Iben Christiansen from the University of KwaZulu-Natal in 2006.
In 2003, the name of the journal was changed to the African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education (AJRMSTE). This change reflected a shift in purpose, as the journal opened itself increasingly to articles and concerns from across Africa.
The primary target audiences include scholars (researchers, teacher educators, curriculum developers, education policy makers) within Southern Africa and elsewhere in the continent and the world.
AJRMSTE is an International Journal published by Taylor and Francis (Routledge). Taylor & Francis (Routledge) is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
