The Tarbiyah Al Awlad journal was first published in January 2011 by the Pendidikan Guru Madrasah Ibtidaiyah study program, Faculty of Tarbiyah dan keguruan, Universitas Islam Negeri Imam Bonjol, Padang. In 2011 the PGMI study program began managing the Tarbiyah Al Awlad journal as a form of academic support for the tridharma of higher education. To guarantee the commitment to support the acceleration of study program development, the Tarbiyah Al Awlad journal is committed to being published twice a year, namely in June and December. The Tarbiyah Al Awlad Journal has switched from the print version to the online version since the beginning of 2017. In 2023 JTA has replaced the cover and template with new significant changes which indicate a continued commitment to improving the quality of the journal.
