The educational construct of Learning Progression (LP) is becoming central in research and curriculum development in science education in the US. Learning progressions are models that describe how students' understanding of central concepts or ideas becomes more sophisticated over time. To date, only a few learning progressions have been developed and validated in critical science areas. In this issue of Educación Química, leaders and pioneers in LP research and development across the world describe and discuss their efforts to expand and strengthen our understanding of learning progressions in chemistry.
