Aims and Scope

Aim

Asatiza: Jurnal Pendidikan is a peer-reviewed journal publishing high-impact research at the intersection of Islamic education, innovative pedagogies, and global educational challenges. We bridge faith-based and secular perspectives to advance SDG-aligned education in Indonesia and Muslim-majority contexts, while welcoming comparative global insights.

We prioritize:
✅ Empirical studies (qual/quant/mixed) on:

  • Cutting-edge pedagogies (PBL, HOTS, STEM/STEAM) in both Islamic schools (madrasahs/pesantren) and general education systems

  • Synergies between religious values (prophetic education, moral development) and modern curricular frameworks

  • EdTech innovations (AI, LMS, VR) with applications across educational contexts

✅ Systematic reviews (PRISMA-compliant) on:

  • Best practices for inclusive education (disability/gender equity) in religious and secular schools

  • Anti-radicalism education and its intersections with global citizenship education

✅ Policy-relevant research aligned with:

  • Indonesia’s Merdeka Belajar curriculum reforms

  • SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equity), and SDG 16 (Peace/Justice)

Scope

1. Pedagogical Innovations Across Contexts

  • Islamic education: Curriculum design for madrasahs/pesantren; integrating science/technology with religious teaching

  • General education: Evidence-based models (PBL, design thinking) in public/vocational schools

  • Cross-context studies: Comparative analyses of teaching methods in Islamic vs. secular schools

2. Technology & Future-Ready Education

  • EdTech for all: AI tools, gamification, and LMS adoption in Islamic/general schools

  • Ethical debates: Digital literacy challenges in religious education settings

3. Inclusion & Equity

  • Islamic settings: Gender/disability access in pesantren; anti-bullying strategies

  • Universal approaches: Multicultural education, trauma-informed teaching in conflict areas

4. Teacher & Institutional Development

  • Faith-based training: Competency frameworks for Islamic educators

  • General systems: Teacher wellbeing, 21st-century skill development in public schools
