About The Journal

TOMADIKA is both an acronym and a term rich in philosophical meaning, derived from the local wisdom of Maluku. The word “Toma” in the Maluku language means spirit and struggle. Toma is also interpreted as a powerful call that awakens courage to take the first step, face challenges, and continue moving forward in every aspect of life, including in the field of education.

Meanwhile, “Dika” is interpreted as a representation of education and dynamic, adaptive learning innovation. Dika symbolizes the development of knowledge, creativity, and transformation in educational practices that are relevant to the needs of the times. Therefore, TOMADIKA reflects the spirit of perseverance in developing innovative, progressive, and future-oriented basic education.

This journal is established as a scientific publication platform for academics, researchers, and education practitioners, aiming to develop and disseminate research findings and innovations in the field of basic education. TOMADIKA publishes original articles that have not been previously published and are not under consideration by any other journal.

The scope of publication covers various aspects of basic education and learning innovation, including science, social studies, mathematics, citizenship education, language, arts and culture, religious education, sports education, educational technology, and environmental education. In addition, the journal also welcomes studies related to learning models, approaches, strategies, instructional media, learning assessment, as well as aspects of educational psychology and pedagogy.

Every submitted manuscript will undergo a plagiarism screening process before being sent for further review. Manuscripts that meet the criteria will proceed through a double-blind peer review system, an anonymous evaluation process that ensures objectivity by concealing the identities of both authors and reviewers. This process aims to ensure the quality, originality, and scholarly contribution of every published article.

With a strong commitment to high academic standards, TOMADIKA strives to encourage innovation and the advancement of quality basic education. This journal is expected to become an important reference and a source of inspiration for academics, researchers, and education practitioners in creating more effective, creative, and meaningful learning experiences.
