Aims & Scope
Jurnal Pendidikan Sains (JPS) focuses on research that advances the theory and practice of teaching and learning in science education. The journal provides a scholarly platform for original research that contributes to the development of effective, evidence-informed, and innovative science education across diverse educational settings.
The journal particularly emphasizes studies on learners' conceptual understanding, misconceptions and conceptual change, scientific reasoning and problem-solving, instructional and assessment innovation, technology-enhanced learning, STEM/STEAM education, and science teacher education.
JPS welcomes original research articles and review articles addressing the following areas of science education:
|
01. Disciplinary Science Education
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics Education. |
02. Basic and Integrated Science
Basic Science Education and Integrated Science Education. |
|
03. Science Pedagogy
Inquiry-Based Learning, Scaffolding, and Problem-Solving. |
04. Assessment and Learning
Assessment, Conceptual Understanding, Misconceptions, and Conceptual Change. |
|
05. STEM and Educational Technology
STEM/STEAM Education and Technology-Enhanced Science Learning. |
06. Science Teacher Education
Science Teacher Education, Professional Development, and Teaching Competencies. |
The journal also welcomes interdisciplinary studies in mathematics education and vocational education when they contribute directly to science, STEM, or related educational practices. Such contributions should demonstrate a clear connection to science education and offer meaningful theoretical, methodological, or practical insights.
JPS values rigorous, original, and methodologically sound research that connects internationally recognized theories and methodologies with authentic educational contexts. Submitted manuscripts are expected to demonstrate clear research contributions and provide meaningful implications for scholarly inquiry, classroom teaching, curriculum development, and educational improvement.
JPS welcomes contributions from researchers and scholars worldwide. The journal seeks to strengthen international academic collaboration, interdisciplinary dialogue, and the exchange of research-based knowledge to advance the quality and impact of science education across diverse educational systems and cultural contexts.
