About the Journal

Professional Development in Islamic Education is an international journal that fully publishes original contributions on professional learning and development (PLD) in Islamic education. The field of PLD has evolved and changed in recent years, and so has Professional Development in Islamic Education. Now, this journal has become an international journal focusing on professional learning and development in and beyond school education worldwide.

The journal aims to encourage critical and diverse thinking in this field, and we welcome both empirical and conceptual articles that can add something new to the literature on Professional Development in Islamic Education across various professions. In particular, we are interested in receiving articles that:

• offer new ways to theorize Professional Development in Islamic Education;
• pose challenging questions about current research and practice, as well as the fundamental assumptions about Islamic education;
• offer critical and analytical perspectives on Professional Development in Islamic Education policies and governance;
• investigate structures that allow the reproduction of inappropriate, unjust, or ineffective Professional Development in Islamic Education practices;
• offer new ways to understand how Professional Development in Islamic Education can improve the lives of educators and, ultimately, their learners.

Our motto is 'more than just a journal,' and the Editorial Board strives to realize this through active engagement in Professional Development in Islamic Education networks, supporting and organizing symposia and events, encouraging dialogue with leading scholars in Professional Development in Islamic Education, and actively contributing to the mentoring and development of new scholars in this field. We invite contributions to this journal that will enable us to fulfill and exceed these aims.
