Aim & Scope
AUJES is devoted to the interests of teachers, educators, and researchers at all levels--preschool through college and beyond. AUJES encourages the submission of research relevant to education from any discipline, and publishes research employing a variety of qualitative and/or quantitative methods and approaches in all areas of the education field.
This journal seeks high-quality original articles that address one or more of the following topics:
- interdisciplinary studies on education and development at all ages;
- technological advances and their impact on education and learning;
- studies that explore the diverse processes of teaching and learning;
- new insights into how learning develops across the lifespan, including significant transitional periods;
- studies that explore the internationalization of education, together with other cross-cultural studies of teaching and learning; and
- studies of innovative instructional practices that foster learning, thinking, and development.
In addition to empiricial research articles, the journal invites articles that present theoretical and philosophical analyses of issues related to the previous topics.
On occasion, AUJES will publish special issues or sections on topics that are sufficiently compelling, of broad-based significance, or important to the advancement of education research that they deserve wide attention and dissemination. Please contact the editors for guidance.

Ethical Principles and Publication Policy
Author(s) submitting a manuscript to AUSEJ are expected to adhere to the following ethical responsibilities:
1. Originality and Unauthorized Use: Authors must ensure that the submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere. They must use content from other sources with proper attribution and must not quote from other works without permission. Even if the author(s) are not affiliated with a university, they can apply to their regional ethics committee. Retroactive ethics committee approval is not required for articles that used research data before 2020, were produced from master's/doctoral studies (must be stated in the article), were submitted to the journal the previous year, or were accepted but not yet published.
2. Authorship, Attribution, and Contributions: All authors must clearly state their contributions. The names and contributions of all contributors to the manuscript must be stated. Individuals who have not contributed to the content of the manuscript should not be listed as authors. No requests for author additions, deletions, or changes to the author order are permitted for a manuscript that has already been reviewed. The Copyright Transfer Form must be completed by the corresponding author and submitted with the manuscript. Authors must declare whether they have received funding for the submitted article. They must include all sources of financial support received and the role of the funder.
3. Data Presentation and Accuracy: Authors must ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data submitted and accurately present the results of the research. If author(s) are requested to provide raw data for their article as part of the peer-review process, they must submit the requested data and information to the publishing and/or scientific committees.
4. Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest: Authors must clearly state in their article whether they have any conflicts of interest. This includes financial, personal, or other conflicts of interest. Author(s) must avoid using sexist or discriminatory language.
Editors' Ethical Duties and Responsibilities:
Editors have full responsibility and authority to accept or reject an article. Editors are responsible for every article they publish, and the editors have sole responsibility for accepting or rejecting a manuscript. Editors may consult with reviewers or editorial board members when making decisions regarding the publication process. Manuscripts are considered and accepted based on their academic merits. To ensure the journal's national and international development,
1. Fairness of the Article Review Process: Editors must evaluate articles impartially. They must avoid any bias or external influence. Only articles that contribute to the field should be accepted. Editors conduct their publishing activities by prioritizing the public interest over personal gain and interests.
2. Protection of Confidentiality: Editors must protect the confidentiality of submitted articles and keep authors' information confidential during this process. Editors should ask reviewers to disclose any conflicts of interest before accepting a review of an article.
3. Compliance with Ethical Rules: Editors must ensure that articles to be published comply with research ethics standards. Editors should seek assurance that all research has been approved by an appropriate board/organization, such as an ethics committee or institutional ethics review board. However, editors should keep in mind that such approval does not guarantee the ethical nature of the research. Editors should use all reasonable means and take every possible initiative to appropriately investigate allegations of unethical conduct.
Ethical Responsibilities of Reviewers:
1. Confidentiality and Accountability: Reviewers must maintain the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and be trustworthy in this process. They should not share the content of the manuscripts with third parties.
2. Fair Review: Reviewers must evaluate manuscripts impartially and through a fair review process. They must avoid any bias. Reviewers should identify studies not cited by authors in the text and request citations. If reviewers discover a significant similarity between the manuscript and another published article, they should bring this to the editor's attention.
3. Expertise and Accuracy: Reviewers should evaluate manuscripts in accordance with their areas of expertise and should not compromise the accuracy of their reviews. Reviewers' reviews and comments should be sent to the authors without compromising their integrity, unless offensive or critical language is used.
These ethical responsibilities are fundamental principles that everyone involved in educational science journals must adhere to. Adherence to these principles enhances the quality of scientific publications and ensures the credibility of the research community.
Basic PDPL Principles for Authors
1. Data Controller and Data Processor: Journal management and authors can act as data controllers and data processors in the personal data processing process. Journal management acts as the data controller responsible for the protection and processing of the collected data.
2. Obligation to Disclose: From the moment personal data is collected, data subjects (e.g., individuals participating in research) must be informed about the purpose for which their data is collected, how it is processed, with whom it is shared, and what rights they have.
3. Explicit Consent: The explicit consent of the data subject must be obtained before personal data can be processed. Explicit consent refers to informed consent given freely and on a specific subject.
4. Data Security: Necessary technical and administrative measures must be taken to protect personal data. Protection of data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction is essential.
1. Purpose of Data Collection and Processing: You must collect and process personal data used in your articles only for specific, clear, and legitimate purposes. Collected data must not be used for purposes other than those intended.
2. Data Minimization: Collect the minimum amount of data you need. Collecting unnecessary or excessive data violates the KVKK.
3. Data Subject Rights: Data subjects must be informed of their right to access their data, their right to request correction or deletion of their data, their right to object to data processing activities, and other relevant rights.
4. Data Retention Period: You must retain personal data for the period required for the purpose of processing and securely destroy the data after this period.
KVKK Practices for Journal Management
1. Privacy Policy: Inform authors and readers about how personal data is collected, used, and protected by publishing a clear privacy policy on the journal website.
2. Data Processing Agreements: Create data processing agreements between authors and journal management to establish a legal framework for the processing of personal data.
3. Training and Awareness: Provide regular training on KVKK to journal staff and authors to increase data protection awareness.

My scholarship is focused on supporting students' learning in middle school and high school. I study student reasoning, particularly as it relates to algebra, generalization, and proof, as well as teachers' pedagogical practices aimed at fostering meaningful student engagement. More recently, I have started studying playful math, and how to support students' playful engagement in mathematical ideas.
I have received fifteen grants from national and state organizations including the National Science Foundation and the Institute of Education Sciences. I currently serve as the PI on two projects. One is an NSF-funded project investigating classroom practices that foster mathematical generalizations. This work includes scaling up findings from twelve years of teaching experiment studies to the whole-classroom level, in which my colleagues and I work with teachers to support their implementation of research-based units in algebra.
The second project is supported by an internal grant investigating what happens when we playify classroom math tasks. I maintain a strong interest in issues of equity and social justice, which informs my work with students, teachers, and districts.
