Focus and Scope

Harati: The Journal of Science Education (HJSE) focuses on the publication of high-quality research and scholarly works in the fields of science and science education. The journal provides a platform for researchers, educators, and practitioners to disseminate innovative ideas, empirical findings, and critical analyses that contribute to the advancement of both science knowledge and science learning.

Focus

The primary focus of HJSE includes:

  • Science education across all levels (primary, secondary, and higher education)
  • Development and implementation of innovative learning models and strategies in science
  • Integration of technology in science learning (e.g., digital learning, virtual labs, AR/VR, game-based learning)
  • Assessment and evaluation in science education
  • Scientific literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills
  • Environmental education and sustainability issues
  • STEM/STEAM education
  • Advancement of fundamental scientific knowledge in biology, physics, and chemistry

Scope

The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, and conceptual studies in the following areas:

A. Science Education

  1. Biology Education
  2. Physics Education
  3. Chemistry Education
  4. Integrated Science Education (IPAS/General Science)
  5. Educational Technology in Science
  6. Curriculum and Instruction
  7. Teacher Professional Development
