Focus and Scope

Journal of Personalized Learning (JPL) envisioned to spread various ways to integrate values in the world of technology from the Qur'an and Sunnah, particularly from the perspective of Risale-i Nur, the thematic interpretation of the Quran through literature highlights, qualitative studies and the construction of modern and second generation methods of data-analysis.  JPL is an open access and peer reviewed research journal indexed by Google Scholar.  It provides a platform for researchers, academicians, professionals, practitioners and students to impart and share knowledge in the form of high quality empirical and theoretical research papers, case studies, book review, critical review and systematic review of literature. Articles published in the journal cover learning,  education and training, concentrating on values, learning theories, principles and best practices;pedagogy, strategy, instructional design and development of learning media and technologies.  JPL also seeks academic articles on the issues affecting the developers of educational systems and educators who implement and manage such systems within our values system. The articles should discuss the perspectives of both communities and their relation to each other:

• Educators aim to use technology to personalized learning towards integrating values as well as to achieve widespread education and expect the technology to blend with their individual approach to instruction. However, most educators are not fully aware of the benefits that may be obtained by proactively harnessing the available technologies and how they might be able to influence further developments through systematic feedback and suggestions.

• Educational system developers and artificial intelligence (AI) researchers including those who gamify learning activities who sometimes unaware of the needs and requirements of typical teachers and students.  Values no longer a tacit knowledge but need to be specify in the design of these systems. 

The aim of the journal is to help them better understand each other's role in the overall process of education and values integration and dissemination and how they may support each other. The articles should be original, unpublished, and not in consideration for publication elsewhere at the time of submission to JPL and six months thereafter. JPL invites articles in the following themes within the context of learning, education and training:

• The Role of Risale-I Nur as a psychological well being in Society 5.0

• Adaptive and Personalized Technology-Enhanced Learning with Values Integration

• Integrating Values in Digital Game and Intelligent Toys Enhanced Learning

• Values Education in Game-based Learning, Serious Game and Gamification

• Computer Supported Collaborative Learning for Character Building

• Wireless, Mobile, Pervasive and Ubiquitous Technologies for Learning & Human Development

• Technology Enhanced Assessment in Formal and Informal Education

• Big Data in Education and Learning Analytics

• Values and Technology Enhanced Subject Domain Teaching in Compulsory and Post-Compulsory (Formal) Education and Training

• Values, Motivational and Affective Aspects in Technology Enhanced Learning

Peer Review Process

Every manuscript submitted will be screened for fulfillment of submission guideline and undergo content review to determine if it suits the scope of the journal and fulfill the quality requirement. The manuscript will be returned to the writer/s if it requires further editing before it is send for review. The papers are then send out for double blind review from experts in the field, who are invited by the Chief Editor.

Comments from reviewers are sent to the authors and they are notified of the journal’s decision (accept, accept with revisions, reject). This entire review process is estimated to take between 1-6 months. The editor’s decision is final.
