AIMS, FOCUS AND SCOPE

Aims: Southeast Asian Journal of Global Trends and Issues in Education (SAJGTIE) aims to promote excellence by publishing high-quality, evidence-based scholarship and by providing a global forum for researchers, academics, professionals, teachers, school counselors, and undergraduate and postgraduate students to share, examine, and debate emerging issues and developments in global education through rigorous scientific approaches..

Focus and Scope: SAJGTIE publishes original, high-quality articles that address current issues and emerging trends through empirical research and literature reviews, with particular attention to teacher professional education within the broader landscape of global education. The journal welcomes diverse contexts and comparative perspectives, especially those with implications for Southeast Asia. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Current and emerging global issues in education: cross-cutting challenges shaping systems worldwide (e.g., AI, learning recovery, mental health, climate education, the digital divide, assessment reform, teacher shortages, data privacy, and the future of work).
• Educational policy and reform in a global context: how international policies, standards, and comparative benchmarks shape teaching, learning, equity, and accountability.
• Curriculum design, innovation, and global–local alignment: how curricula integrate global competencies while remaining locally relevant (e.g., 21st-century skills, STEM, digital literacy, Education for Sustainable Development [ESD]).
• Pedagogical innovation and technology integration: evidence-based methods and digital modalities (blended and hybrid models, e-learning, mobile learning, and generative AI [GenAI]) that enhance access, engagement, personalization, and assessment.
• Equity, inclusion, and sociocultural issues in global education: approaches that advance inclusive, culturally responsive, and gender-equitable education and remove barriers for marginalized learners.
• Teacher education and professional development in global settings: initial preparation, induction, ongoing professional learning, mobility, and their effects on quality, retention, and well-being.
• Comparative and international education research: cross-national and cross-cultural studies on policy transfer, system performance, global trends, and the internationalization of education.
• Educational leadership, governance, and change in a globalized world: leadership models, governance structures, improvement science, and change management across diverse contexts.
• Lifelong learning, adult education, and global workforce development: pathways for employability, reskilling and upskilling, micro-credentials, and alignment with global labor markets and sustainability.
