Aims & Scope

Aims

Jurnal Pendidikan: Teori, Penelitian, dan Pengembangan (JPTPP) is an international, peer-reviewed journal published monthly by Universitas Negeri Malang. JPTPP aims to advance educational theory and practice by publishing original, high-quality research that translates classroom-level evidence into applicable instructional innovation. The journal places particular emphasis on two interlocking research strands that define its identity within the broader education literature: the integration of educational technology (EdTech) in teaching and learning, and the cultivation of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) — critical thinking, creative thinking, and problem-solving — among learners across educational levels. JPTPP welcomes contributions from researchers, teacher-educators, and practitioners worldwide, with a stated commitment to publishing research and development (R&D) studies that produce validated, classroom-ready instructional models, media, and assessment instruments.

Scope

Focus areas (primary emphasis; the majority of published output falls within these strands):

  • Educational technology integration: digital/online/blended learning, learning management systems, AI- and mobile-assisted instruction
  • Development of higher-order thinking skills: critical thinking, creative thinking, problem-solving, and metacognition in teaching and learning
  • Learning models and instructional design developed through Research and Development (R&D) methodology, including validated learning media and models (e.g., problem-based, project-based, and inquiry-based learning)

Supporting areas (published selectively, in connection with the focus areas above):

  • Curriculum development and evaluation
  • Learning assessment and instrument development (test and non-test instruments)
  • Teacher professional competence, including technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK)
  • Discipline-specific education research (science, mathematics, social studies, and language education) where findings intersect with EdTech integration or HOTS development

JPTPP does not publish purely descriptive case reports, policy commentary without empirical grounding, or studies outside the education and learning sciences domain.
