Aims & scopes
Journal of Social Studies Education in Asia
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Journal of Social Studies Education in Asia (JSSEA), a new international, peer-reviewed, open access, scholarly journal. The first issue is planned for Spring 2018.
Aim
The Journal of Social Studies Education in Asia (JSSEA) aims to make connections among the international fields of social studies education in Asia. JSSEA focuses on general trends and major shifts in curriculum and pedagogy, policy, and practices of students and teachers regarding social studies education in Asian countries. As the impact of globalization is felt at local, national, regional, and international levels, so the role of social studies education and citizenship education is gradually changing in each context of Asia. JSSEA stimulates innovation and debate, promotes theoretical development in the field, and encourages reflective practice. This will expand our knowledge and understanding of the purposes, conditions, and effects of social studies education in Asian countries.
Submissions
JSSEA welcomes high-quality submissions that report conceptual, empirical or historical research on social studies education in Asian countries. Manuscripts reflecting a wide range of perspectives, topics, contexts, and methods regarding social studies education, including interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary work, are welcomed.
Topic areas include, but are not limited to:
- Social Studies
- History and Geography Education
- Economic and Political Education
- Environmental Education
- Global and International Education
- Citizenship Education
