About the Journal

Social Studies in Education is published by Program Studi Pendidikan Agama Islam (Islamic Education Teacher Training Program) of UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya, Indonesia.

Welcome to the "Social Studies in Education," a dynamic and innovative academic platform dedicated to advancing macro studies on education that go beyond the traditional boundaries of teaching and learning in the classroom. Our journal serves as a gateway for educators, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to explore and contribute to a broader understanding of social studies in education and its impact on society.

While the classroom remains a critical focal point for social studies in education, this journal recognizes the significance of exploring education on a macro level, examining its influence beyond the confines of educational institutions. Social studies in education has a profound role in shaping individuals' perspectives, fostering active citizenship, and promoting social cohesion within diverse communities. As such, our journal welcomes research that delves into the broader implications and societal outcomes of social studies education.

Beyond Classroom Boundaries:
The "Social Studies in Education" encourages scholars to explore and analyze how social studies in education intersects with various aspects of public life. We seek contributions that delve into the influence of social studies in education on public policies, political participation, cultural awareness, and community development. Our journal aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted connections between social studies in education and the broader societal context.

Macrostudies in Education:
In embracing a macro approach, our journal welcomes research that goes beyond individual classroom experiences and teacher-student dynamics. We invite investigations into the impact of educational policies, curriculum design, and social studies pedagogy on national and global levels. Furthermore, we encourage studies that explore the role of social studies in education in promoting sustainable development, addressing social inequalities, and fostering global citizenship.

Interdisciplinary Perspectives:
At the "Social Studies in Education," we celebrate interdisciplinary approaches to education research. We recognize that social studies education is a field enriched by insights from history, geography, sociology, economics, and various other disciplines. We encourage researchers to draw on diverse methodologies and theoretical frameworks to shed light on the complexities and interconnectedness of social studies education.
