About the Journal

 

Journal Profile

The International Journal of Research in STEM Education (IJRSE) is an international scholarly journal dedicated to advancing research, knowledge, and educational practice in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.

IJRSE provides a platform for researchers, educators, and professionals to communicate high-quality scholarly work across diverse educational, institutional, and cultural contexts. The journal promotes research with clear scholarly contribution and broader relevance to the advancement of STEM education internationally.

Focus and Scope

STEM Education Research

IJRSE publishes research that advances knowledge, theory, and practice in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, with an emphasis on scholarly contribution and international relevance. The journal welcomes empirical and scholarly contributions addressing STEM disciplines individually, across disciplines, or through integrated STEM approaches in diverse educational contexts.

Multidisciplinary perspectives are welcomed where they provide meaningful contributions to understanding and advancing STEM education.

Teaching, Learning, and Professional Development

The journal welcomes research on teaching, learning, curriculum, assessment, and professional development across STEM education. Areas of interest include innovative pedagogies, curriculum design and implementation, student engagement and motivation, learning outcomes, teacher preparation, professional development, and the advancement of teaching competencies in disciplinary and integrated STEM contexts.

Particular attention is given to the evolving role of emerging technologies and their educational applications in STEM education, including artificial intelligence (AI), learning analytics, adaptive and personalised learning, virtual and simulated learning environments, and other technology-enhanced approaches. The journal encourages research examining how these developments can enhance teaching and learning, curriculum innovation, assessment, teacher professional learning, and the development of future-oriented STEM competencies.

Research, Innovation, Policy, and Practice

IJRSE welcomes research that connects scholarly evidence, educational innovation, policy, and practice in STEM education. This includes studies addressing emerging educational challenges, equity and inclusion, educational quality, institutional transformation, and the implementation and scaling of STEM education across diverse institutional, cultural, and educational contexts.

The journal particularly values research that moves beyond reporting context-specific findings by demonstrating scholarly contribution, broader relevance, and implications for the advancement of STEM education internationally.

Scholarly Community

IJRSE serves an international community of researchers, educators, teacher educators, graduate students, policymakers, educational technology specialists, curriculum developers, and professionals engaged in STEM education.

The journal seeks to facilitate scholarly exchange among those who generate research, develop educational innovations, shape policy, and apply evidence to improve STEM teaching and learning.

Scholarly Contributions

Original Research

IJRSE welcomes original research that provides robust empirical evidence, theoretical advancement, methodological innovation, or new understanding of significant issues in STEM education.

Evidence Synthesis

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are welcomed where they critically synthesize existing evidence, identify patterns and knowledge gaps, and contribute to the development of a stronger evidence base for STEM education.

Scholarly Perspectives

Editorial contributions provide scholarly perspectives on significant developments, emerging issues, and future directions in STEM education. Editorial Articles are reserved for members of the IJRSE Editorial Team or authors specifically invited or assigned by the Editorial Team.

International Engagement and Collaboration

IJRSE encourages scholarly exchange and collaboration across institutions, disciplines, countries, and educational systems. The journal welcomes research that brings comparative, cross-cultural, interdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary perspectives to important issues in STEM education.

Through publication and scholarly engagement, IJRSE seeks to strengthen connections among researchers, educators, professional communities, policymakers, and institutional partners, contributing to the exchange of knowledge and the advancement of STEM education internationally.
