Focus and Scope

The Indonesian Journal of Islamic Education Studies (JIIES) is an international peer-reviewed journal devoted to advancing scholarship in the field of Islamic education through interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary perspectives. The journal serves as an academic platform for researchers, educators, practitioners, policymakers, and graduate students to disseminate original research, theoretical discussions, critical reviews, and innovative practices that contribute to the development of Islamic education and Islamic thought in response to contemporary educational challenges. JIIES promotes scholarly dialogue that bridges classical Islamic educational heritage with modern educational theories, policies, and practices, thereby supporting the continuous improvement of Islamic education at local, national, and global levels.

The journal welcomes high-quality manuscripts covering a broad range of topics related to Islamic education, including the philosophy, foundations, curriculum, pedagogy, teaching and learning, assessment, and character education in Islamic contexts. It also publishes studies on Islamic educational management, educational leadership, governance, quality assurance, institutional development, and policy analysis in Islamic educational institutions. JIIES encourages research on innovation in Islamic education, including digital transformation, educational technology, artificial intelligence, e-learning, blended learning, instructional media, and innovative approaches to teaching and learning that enhance educational quality and accessibility.

In addition, JIIES accepts manuscripts that explore contemporary Islamic thought and its implications for education, including educational reform, the integration of Islamic and modern sciences, religious moderation, globalization, multiculturalism, peace education, environmental education, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from Islamic perspectives. The journal also welcomes studies in Islamic studies that have direct relevance to educational discourse, such as Qur'anic and Hadith studies, Islamic philosophy, Islamic ethics, Islamic psychology, Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah, and other related disciplines that enrich the theoretical foundations of Islamic education.

JIIES further provides a forum for research on various Islamic educational institutions, including pesantren, madrasah, Islamic schools, Islamic higher education institutions, mosque-based education, family education, community-based education, and lifelong Islamic learning. The journal also encourages submissions on teacher education, professional development, educational supervision, inclusive education, special needs education, Islamic guidance and counseling, student development, mental health, and other emerging issues that contribute to strengthening educational practice and policy in Muslim societies.

The journal publishes original research articles, conceptual papers, systematic literature reviews, bibliometric studies, case studies, and other scholarly works employing qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods, action research, design-based research, and other rigorous methodological approaches. By fostering academic collaboration and disseminating high-quality research, JIIES aims to contribute significantly to the advancement of Islamic education and Islamic educational thought while providing practical and theoretical solutions for educational development in Indonesia and the wider global community.
