Aims and Scope

The Journal of Turkish Science Education (TUSED) publishes scholarly papers that concentrate on science and technology education in school settings ranging from early childhood to higher education, as well as workplace and informal learning environments connected to these fields and their interdisciplinary intersections. Hence, its purpose is to link research with practice by providing information, ideas, opinions, and insights. As an international journal, TUSED welcomes contributions from any country, encouraging authors to explain their national contexts and associate the significance of their work with a global readership.

In looking for research to publish, TUSED seeks manuscripts that advance our knowledge in science and technology education research rather than reproducing what we already know. Thus, TUSED is intensely interested in publishing valid and trustworthy research that covers new capabilities and innovative practices in science and technology learning and teaching. TUSED especially emphasizes research in educational practice and educational realities within systems, schools, and universities.

While TUSED is fundamentally concerned with science and technology education, it strongly welcomes manuscripts on interdisciplinary research where these fields are at the forefront. To reflect this interdisciplinary vision, TUSED particularly encourages submissions in, but not limited to, the following integrated areas:

  • Early Childhood Science and Technology Education
  • STEM/STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Education
  • Health Literacy in Science Education
  • Environmental and Sustainability Education
  • Neuroscience and Cognitive Science Applications in Education
  • Digital Literacies, Artificial Intelligence, and Computational Thinking in Science Education
  • Socioscientific Issues and Science-Technology-Society (STS) Studies
  • Inclusive and Special Education in Science and Technology

With those in mind, all contributions should be:

Theoretically grounded,

Relevant to science and technology education theories (and applicable interdisciplinary frameworks),

Able to deeply discuss future implications for practice and research.

TUSED is the journal associated with Firtina Academy Company, which provides educational services to public institutions and private companies.
