Journal of Teacher Education and Educators

Journal of Teacher Education and Educators (JTEE) presents articles focused on teacher education. The journal's primary aim is to reveal the discussions on teacher education and development, and to bright light on the policies about teacher education. Therefore, the journal intends to become an academic and international platform for discussing all aspects of teacher education, sharing the practices from all around the world about teacher education and development, and determining the actions to be taken to develop more qualified teachers. 

Journal of Teacher Education and Educators is fundamentally concerned with the improvement of teacher education, curriculum, policy, and in-service training. Besides these, the journal also accepts researches related to the problems of teacher educators and researchers in the field of educational sciences.

The Journal of Teacher Education and Educators particularly welcomes articles that explore alternative, critical and re-conceptualized views of teacher education; articles written for academics, educators, and practitioners that present the relationship between theory and practice explicitly.

Citations

Authors must follow APA-7 for citations and references:

For every in-text citation in your paper, there must be a corresponding entry in your reference list.

Use the author(s)’ last name followed by the year of publication for in-text citations.

In narrative citations (within the text), use “and” to connect authors’ names. Example: Hoy and Miskel (2013) stated that…

In parenthetical citations, use “&” to connect authors’ names. Example: (Hoy & Miskel, 2013)

If a work has three or more authors, use only the first author’s last name followed by et al. in all in-text citations, even the first time you cite the work. Example: (Hoy et al., 2013) or Hoy et al. (2013) stated that…

References

The reference list should be arranged in alphabetical order by the first author’s last name.

If there is more than one work by the same author, list them in chronological order, from oldest to newest.

Use “&” instead of “and” when listing multiple authors in a reference list entry.

The first line of each reference entry is left-aligned, and all subsequent lines are indented using a hanging indent (1 cm).

Italicize the titles of books, journals, and web documents. However, journal article titles and book chapter titles are NOT italicized.

All types of sources (books, journal articles, web documents, brochures, etc.) should be arranged alphabetically in a single reference list—not separated by type.

If a work has 20 or fewer authors, list all of them. If a work has 21 or more authors, list the first 19 authors, followed by an ellipsis (…), and then include the final author’s name (without an ampersand before the last author).

If available, always include the DOI as a clickable link (https://doi.org/xxxxx).

For serial/journal articles; (1) do not use “Vol.” before the number, (2) include all page numbers in full (e.g., 102–115, not 102-15).
