The purpose of the IJIEL: Indonesian Journal of Islamic Education and Learning is to report new insight and foster critical debate about Islamic education and learning. The aspects of Islamic education focus on education in its broadest sense, including formal modes, from preschool to higher education, contemporary issues, curriculum development, Islamic education management, and Islamic education policy. The aspects of learning with which the journal is concerned include perspectives across a wide range of teaching, development, curriculum, instruction, innovations, methodology, and technology in education or situated at the convergence of two or more disciplines.

IJIEL seeks to help make available new evidence-based theory-practice  and understandings as to the extent and nature of educational and learning change in diverse settings. It stresses the importance of appreciating the interplay of local, national, regional, and global contexts and dynamics in shaping education and learning. IJIEL encourages the appropriate use of qualitative, quantitative, action research, and research development (R&D) analytical techniques as means to shed light on key problems of education and learning. The International Journal of Education and Learning welcomes papers from all prospective authors, especially from scholars and practitioners who come from low- and middle-income countries to develop education in these countries, also scholars and practitioners from developed countries to provide experiences and understandings that can be adopted in other countries, both the education system and learning practice.
