Scholarly journals - also called academic journals - are publications that contain articles written by professors, scholars, and researchers, to be read by other professors, scholars, and researchers. They essentially allow scholars within an academic discipline (e.g. education) to communicate about their research and findings. Review of Educational Research is an example of a scholarly journal within the field of education.
Trade publications are magazines, newspapers, newsletters, etc. about developments in a certain profession, career field, or job setting. They contain articles written by people within that profession or setting, to be read by other people within the same profession or setting. The Chronicle of Higher Education, for example, is a trade publication for people who work at colleges and universities.
Databases do have source or content type filters that will let you narrow your searches to articles that appeared in scholarly/academic journals or trade publications. The document below will give you more information about the differences between these publication types and ways to recognize them when you find them.
These databases are good places to look for scholarly and trade publication articles about education topics.
