Author Guidelines

 

Welcome from the Editorial Team

The mission of the IRJE (Indonesian Research Journal in Education) provides a vital forum for exchanging ideas in order to enrich the theory, policy, and practice of education in Indonesia and around the world. IRJE is an open access, peer-reviewed, and international e-journal, published in Indonesia, which accepts unpublished, high quality, and original research manuscripts in English, resulting primarily from quantitative, qualitative, and mixed research methodology related to or associated with education. These issues include but are not limited to practices, policies, and research in education from early childhood education to higher education including instruction, learning, teaching, curriculum development, educational policy, language education and policy, bilingual education, multicultural education, art education, teacher education, educational technology, educational developments, and international education.

The coeditors can be contacted by email at irje@unja.ac.id and at IRJE (Indonesian Research Journal in Education), Universitas Jambi, Jl. Raden Mattaher No.16, Jambi Indonesia 36113. E-mail is our preferred method of communication.

General articles and research manuscripts. All manuscripts must be submitted electronically at http://online-journal.unja.ac.id/index.php/irje/submissions.
