Focus and Scope

The International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Creative Innovation Ideas in Education (THE MIR) is a premier open-access, peer-reviewed scholarly publication dedicated to advancing global knowledge and fostering innovation in education and related fields. Guided by its motto, "Expert Research & Creative Innovative Ideas," THE MIR provides a dynamic platform for lecturers, teachers, researchers, and students worldwide to share high-quality research, creative solutions, and interdisciplinary insights that shape the future of learning and societal progress.

THE MIR is committed to bridging theoretical knowledge with practical applications, with a strong emphasis on education, technology-enhanced learning, and multidisciplinary approaches. The journal seeks to push the boundaries of traditional academic research by encouraging submissions that integrate diverse disciplines, leverage cutting-edge technologies, and propose innovative ideas with real-world impact. Through its collaboration with the Association Indonesian Information Technology Vocational and Vocational Education (PVKTII) and the Association of Public Sector Accounting Educators (APSAE), THE MIR amplifies its mission to drive transformative educational practices and interdisciplinary scholarship.

Scope of the Journal

THE MIR invites original research articles, case studies, and review papers that align with its vision of advancing education through multidisciplinary research and creative innovation. The journal’s scope includes, but is not limited to, the following key areas:

  1. Multidisciplinary Research in Education and Pure Sciences
    • Studies that blend educational theories with pure sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics) to address pedagogical challenges or enhance learning outcomes.
    • Research exploring intersections between science and education, such as STEM/STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education, scientific literacy, or data-driven teaching methodologies.
    • Investigations that apply multidisciplinary frameworks to tackle complex issues in education, including sustainability, health education, or cognitive development.
  2. Development, Analysis, and Evaluation of Educational Technologies
    • Research on the design, implementation, and assessment of digital tools, platforms, and applications that enhance educational experiences, such as e-learning systems, virtual classrooms, or mobile learning apps.
    • Studies evaluating the efficacy and impact of technology-enhanced learning through rigorous methods, including User Acceptance Testing (UAT), Usability Testing, system performance metrics, or learner feedback analysis.
    • Exploration of emerging technologies—such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), gamification, or learning analytics—and their potential to revolutionize teaching and learning processes.
  3. Creative and Innovative Ideas in Education and Beyond
    • Proposals and analyses of novel pedagogical approaches, curriculum designs, or instructional strategies that inspire creativity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning.
    • Research showcasing innovative solutions to educational challenges, such as digital equity, inclusive education, vocational skill development, or teacher professional development.
    • Studies that translate creative concepts into practical implementations, contributing to educational policy, institutional innovation, or community-driven learning initiatives.
  4. Interdisciplinary Studies with Educational Relevance
    • Research integrating education with fields like information technology, public sector accounting, social sciences, or engineering to address contemporary societal needs.
    • Case studies or reviews highlighting the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in fostering educational innovation, workforce readiness, or digital transformation.
    • Investigations into the application of ICT in vocational education, professional training, or informal learning environments, with an emphasis on practical outcomes.
