The journal publishes original research, theoretical analyses, and critical reviews, welcoming contributions from academics, researchers, graduate students, and policymakers in international contexts.
Aims
International Journal of Education, Culture, and Society (IJECS) aims to publish rigorous, peer-reviewed scholarship that advances theory, empirical evidence, and critical understanding of the relationships among education, culture, and society. The journal welcomes interdisciplinary work that is methodologically transparent, analytically defensible, and socially relevant across diverse international contexts.
• Education Research: advance teaching, learning, curriculum, assessment, and educational policy with clear implications for practice.
• Cultural Analysis: strengthen analysis of identity, values, language, heritage, arts, and meaning-making in education and social life.
• Social Inquiry: promote research on institutions, communities, inequality, governance, and social change shaping educational experiences.
• Interdisciplinary Integration: encourage coherent links among educational phenomena, cultural practices, and societal structures through theory and method.
• Ethical and Transparent Scholarship: support clear sourcing, responsible fieldwork, and appropriately bounded conclusions.
Manuscripts should state the cultural and societal context, specify the education-related focus, justify the analytic framework, and explain how the findings inform educational practice, cultural understanding, and/or social policy.
Scope
IJECS considers manuscripts spanning education, culture, and society, including interdisciplinary work examining how cultural practices, institutions, and social structures shape educational experiences and outcomes. Submissions may be empirical, conceptual, interpretive, historical, or review-based, provided they offer clear contribution and rigorous evidence or reasoning.
• Education Studies: pedagogy, curriculum and instruction, assessment, teacher education, educational leadership, and policy implementation.
• Cultural Studies: identity, language, religion, values, arts and heritage, cultural transmission, and meaning-making in educational and social contexts.
• Sociology and Community: social stratification, inequality, family and youth, community development, migration, and social cohesion affecting schooling and learning.
• Governance, Policy, and Change: public policy, governance, citizenship, media and digital society, and social change with implications for education and culture.
• Interdisciplinary Reviews and Theoretical Work: systematic or scoping reviews, critical syntheses, and theory-building that clarify concepts and advance research agendas.
Authors are encouraged to clarify the cultural setting and social context, specify the level or sector of education, and report evidence and limitations with sufficient detail to support responsible interpretation and transferability.
