Focus and Scope

Journal of Educational Studies in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Humanities (JESTEAH) publishes high-quality scholarly works in either Indonesian or English, including original empirical research, conceptual or theoretical analyses, systematic reviews, and educational innovation reports. The journal focuses on the interdisciplinary intersection of sciences, technologies, engineering, arts, and the humanities in education, fostering dialogue and collaboration across domains to advance educational inquiry and practice in diverse contexts.

JESTEAH emphasizes integrative, cross-disciplinary scholarship that bridges traditionally separate fields to address contemporary educational challenges, promote equity and inclusion, and cultivate creativity, critical thinking, and ethical awareness in teaching and learning.

Topic Areas

The scope of JESTEAH includes, but is not limited to, the following thematic areas:

  1. STEM Education: Curriculum and pedagogical innovations in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics across formal and informal settings.
  2. STEAM Integration: Approaches that incorporate arts and humanities to enrich STEM learning and enhance creativity, communication, and critical reflection.
  3. Educational Technology & Design Thinking: Engineering design, maker culture, and technology-enhanced learning in classrooms, workshops, and community environments.
  4. Equity, Inclusion, and Access: Research addressing inclusive practices in STEM, arts, and humanities, including learners with special needs and under-represented groups.
  5. Methodological Advances: Quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, design-based research, and action research in multidisciplinary educational studies.
  6. Humanities & Cultural Dimensions: Ethics in engineering education, socio-cultural factors in technology learning, and history/philosophy of science education.
  7. Project-Based & Experiential Learning: Maker spaces, innovation labs, and capstone projects, including implementation and evaluation in schools, higher education, and lifelong learning.
  8. Policy, Leadership, and Institutional Change: Governance and strategic initiatives that connect STEM, arts, and humanities to address societal challenges (e.g., sustainability, digital transformation, globalization).

Types of Contributions

  • Empirical studies of innovative practices, interventions, or curriculum models.
  • Theoretical or conceptual papers that advance interdisciplinary educational frameworks.
  • Systematic reviews, scoping reviews, or meta-analyses across relevant domains.
  • Methodological papers proposing or validating research instruments and designs.
