The Journal of Science Learning (JSL) is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to expanding the intellectual frontiers and challenging the traditional boundaries of global science education research. Historically, mainstream science education literature has been constrained by linear frameworks and Anglo-Eurocentric metrics that frequently overlook localized socio-cultural landscapes and advanced human-technological entanglements. JSL addresses this systemic gap by providing a progressive, high-quality international forum that centers on digitally mediated, culturally sustained, and equity-driven science learning contexts, with a specialized emphasis on cross-regional transformations and emerging economies within the Global South. The core mission of JSL is to investigate how scientific literacy, systemic thinking, and epistemic dispositions are constructed, transformed, and enacted when global educational technologies and sustainability mandates intersect with diverse local cultures. Rather than positioning digital media as a mere classroom delivery tool or treating culture as a static background variable, the journal champions research that views these elements as deeply entangled drivers of human cognitive and sociological evolution. JSL seeks to bridge the gap between advanced methodological rigor and transformative educational philosophies by publishing original empirical studies, non-linear quantitative modeling, macro-level comparative analyses, and critical theoretical papers that define how humanity teaches, learns, and internalizes science in the Anthropocene era. JSL is a triannual journal issued in March, July, and November.
