Denizli Provincial Directorate of National Education Journal of Science and Education is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to supporting high-quality scholarly research in the fields of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Educational Sciences, Social Sciences, and Fine Arts. The journal seeks to foster innovative perspectives within these disciplines, thereby making a significant contribution to the dissemination of scientific knowledge on both national and international platforms. By maintaining a vigilant approach to global developments, the integration of scientific studies into regional, national, and international educational systems is facilitated. Furthermore, the journal addresses challenges encountered in the realms of education and science by presenting solutions grounded in scientific evidence, thereby enriching these fields with meaningful contributions.
Submissions from secondary education, higher education, and postgraduate students, along with their advisors, are particularly encouraged, provided that the studies comply with rigorous scientific, ethical, and academic standards. A fundamental criterion for acceptance is that the submissions must be based on collaborative research conducted by students under the supervision of their advisors. This approach is designed to promote the production of original and substantial contributions to academic research processes, guided by expert mentorship. By prioritizing the publication of innovative and high-quality research, the journal offers a platform for emerging researchers to present their views to the academic community and articulate their findings effectively. In this context, the journal aims to make valuable contributions to lifelong learning processes and the professional development of individuals.
Denizli Provincial Directorate of National Education Journal of Science and Education supports research conducted by students under the guidance of their advisors in diverse disciplines such as Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Educational Sciences, Social Sciences, and Fine Arts. The journal aims to bring together scientific and artistic production through an interdisciplinary approach, thereby enriching these fields. In this context, the journal considers original literature reviews (covering a maximum of 25% of the published articles), research articles, and applied studies authored by emerging researchers, researchers working in Fine Arts, and their advisors. Through this approach, the journal aspires to make substantial contributions to both scientific and artistic domains.
Additionally, the Denizli Provincial Directorate of National Education Journal of Science and Education adopts an open access policy, making its contents freely available. All articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0) license, facilitating the global dissemination of knowledge by sharing it with academic communities.
The journal does not consider the following types of studies for publication:
Book reviews or studies based on textbooks.
Studies investigating the impact of a single variable without comprehensive analysis.
Simple qualitative or quantitative studies conducted using a single data collection tool (e.g., studies based solely on demographic variable analyses or those using only interviews or scales).
Studies that draw conclusions solely based on participants' opinions without substantial data analysis.
Studies with an insufficient sample size for experiments or research (sampling formulas must be followed, and a minimum sample size appropriate to the population must be ensured).
Studies measuring students' attitudes, behaviors, or similar characteristics towards a specific course without substantial analytical depth.
Studies demonstrating weak scientific methods, lacking validity and reliability (e.g., studies without content analysis or those containing methodological errors in quantitative/qualitative data analysis).
Studies that insufficiently explain their contribution to the literature, theoretical framework, and significance.
Studies containing methodological errors, measurement inaccuracies, or those conducted with incomplete experimental designs.
Studies with a weak theoretical foundation, unclear contributions to the literature, and ambiguous practical implications.
Studies presenting inconsistent or incorrect data analyses, failing to maintain scientific rigor in data analysis methods.
Studies limited to superficial art criticism or aesthetic analysis without presenting a comprehensive evaluation.
Studies in the Fine Arts lacking substantial artistic expertise, containing technical errors, and demonstrating weak scientific foundations.
Studies in the Fine Arts that fail to offer original or innovative contributions and merely reiterate the existing literature.
