Focus and Scope

Jurnal Penelitian dan Evaluasi Pendidikan publishes high-quality research articles on assessment, measurement, evaluation, and methodology in various educational contexts. The journal aims to contribute uniquely to the literature, facilitate discussion of current issues, and promote equity and justice, particularly for marginalised groups.

Published articles include empirical studies and meta-analyses with precise and rigorous methods, significant results, and practical relevance for improving the quality of education at different levels and systems.

• Research Articles: Reports the results of an empirical research study conducted by the author, guided by a research question or hypothesis, using specific methods. The article reports the study's results, explains its significance in the context of educational measurement, evaluation or assessment, and notes the study's limitations.
• Instrument Development and Performance Assessment: Discusses the development of innovative performance measurement or assessment instruments, including their validation, reliability, and application in various educational contexts. The article aims to contribute to practice and research in developing performance assessment and measurement tools.
• Policy Analysis: Investigates education policies using data-driven approaches to evaluate their effectiveness, efficiency, or impact. This article provides insights for policymakers, academics, and educational practitioners.
• Programme Evaluation: Evaluates small and extensive educational programmes to determine their effectiveness in achieving the desired goals. The article should present findings that are relevant to the development and improvement of educational programmes.
• Testing Management: Discusses strategies, practices, and challenges in the management of testing in various educational contexts. This article may cover testing policy development, operational management, or test results analysis.
• Research Methodology Development: Presents innovations in research methodologies relevant to educational measurement, assessment, or evaluation. The article aims to introduce new approaches or improve existing research techniques.
• Meta-Analysis: Uses statistical techniques to synthesise quantitative data from multiple previous studies to identify consistent patterns, effect sizes, or relationships in educational measurement, assessment, and evaluation. The meta-analysis article should present a transparent methodology, including study inclusion and exclusion criteria and the statistical techniques used, such as effect size and heterogeneity analyses. The manuscript is expected to provide new insights or resolve controversies in the literature to support evidence-based decision-making in the field of education.
