About the Journal

Culture, Education, and Future (CEF) is an open-access, peer-reviewed international journal sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Interdisciplinary Education Studies (AAIDES) that explores the intersections of cultural dynamics and educational practices in preparing for future challenges. The journal publishes research examining how cultural contexts shape educational approaches and how education can respond to emerging social, technological, and global transformations.

CEF focuses on studies that investigate cultural responsiveness in education, future-ready pedagogical practices, and the evolving relationship between local cultural contexts and global educational trends. The journal values both country-specific studies providing deep insights into cultural educational practices and cross-cultural comparative analyses that bridge diverse national and regional experiences.

The journal welcomes researchers from diverse educational settings, including K–12 schools, universities, adult learning centers, and community organizations. CEF encourages submissions addressing culturally relevant education, future-oriented curriculum development, and the impact of demographic, technological, and social changes on educational practices. The journal incorporates interdisciplinary perspectives from anthropology, sociology, psychology, linguistics, and communication studies.

CEF seeks to provide educators, administrators, curriculum developers, researchers, and policymakers with evidence-based insights for creating culturally responsive and future-oriented educational environments. The journal welcomes various research methodologies, including qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods approaches, and innovative research designs that advance understanding of culture-education-future intersections.
