About the journal: Journal of Theory and Practice in Education is a fully refereed electronic journal under the editorship of faculty members of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University. Information about the review process may be found under Review Procedures . 

Journal of Theory and Practice in Education has been launched as an online journal rather than a paper-based journal in order to reach as many readers as possible in the most convenient manner.

Aims of the Journal: The aim of the journal is to assist in the improvement of teaching-learning in fields related to the process of teacher training and teaching-learning, and to make a contribution to knowledge in this field by enabling the results of theoretical and practical research by specialists and instructors to be disseminated among academic staff. 

Articles submitted to the journal should be about the process of teaching-learning and teacher-training and be based on original research. The journal stresses first and foremost educational aspects rather than pure sciences. For instance, the journal would prefer articles reporting research into teaching of foreign languages rather than articles investigating linguistic properties of specific foreign languages.

Journal of Theory and Practice in Education also aims to include reviews, announcements, and scholarly debate on various topics of current scholarly interest within the scope of the journal’s field.  

Special Themes to be included in future issues of the journal will be announced in advance.

Language of the Journal: The content of the journal may either be in English or Turkish.  

Frequency of publication: The journal is published twice a year, in January and July.

REVIEW PROCEDURES 

Review Procedures: All papers submitted are first reviewed by the Editorial Board to check whether they are appropriate for the journal’s readership and in keeping with the editorial policy and aims of the journal. Following this first review, the paper is sent to at least three anonymous referees for blind review. All papers submitted to the journal must therefore conform to the requirements of the Style Guidelines  for an appropriate blind review.

Once the Referees have accepted the article for publication, it then enters the publication process, after corrections if necessary. The author will be informed of the issue of the journal in which the article will be published. We regret that articles not accepted for publication cannot be returned. The author will be informed of the Referee’s decision by e-mail.
