ISTIBSHAR: Journal of Islamic Education and Learning is an open-access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by Universitas Islam An Nur Lampung, Indonesia. The journal provides an interdisciplinary platform for advancing educational research, pedagogical innovation, and sustainable educational development across diverse educational contexts, encompassing both Islamic and general education.

The name ISTIBSHAR (استبصار), signifying deep insight and reflective understanding, reflects the journal's commitment to fostering critical inquiry and meaningful contributions to educational knowledge, theory, and practice.

ISTIBSHAR's distinctive scholarly orientation emphasizes contextual and place-based learning, socio-ecological transformation, and community-engaged educational development. The journal promotes interdisciplinary research that connects educational theories and practices with real-world challenges, local knowledge, cultural contexts, environmental sustainability, and community participation. Through this orientation, ISTIBSHAR seeks to advance educational scholarship that is locally grounded, socially responsive, and globally relevant.

The journal focuses on three interconnected areas:

  1. Contextual and Place-Based Learning Innovation
  2. Education for Socio-Ecological Literacy and Transformation
  3. Community-Engaged Educational Leadership and Sustainable Institutions

ISTIBSHAR welcomes original scholarly contributions from various educational disciplines and institutional settings, including schools, madrasahs, pesantren, universities, and formal, non-formal, and informal education. The journal is not limited to Islamic education but also encourages research in general education and other educational fields that align with its scholarly orientation.

The journal publishes original empirical research, systematic literature reviews, and theoretically grounded conceptual studies that demonstrate scholarly originality, methodological rigor, and significant theoretical, empirical, or practical contributions to educational knowledge.

ISTIBSHAR is published twice a year, covering January–June and July–December. All submitted manuscripts undergo editorial screening and a double-blind peer-review process to uphold academic quality, research integrity, and publication ethics.
