To provide a high-quality scholarly platform for research that brings together science, mathematics, entrepreneurship, and technology, and to advance the theory and practice of interdisciplinary learning so that the skills required in the 21st century are built on a strong educational foundation.
There is a growing consensus that today's scientific and societal problems cannot be solved with the knowledge and skills of a single discipline, and this view is increasingly becoming a dominant paradigm in education. Complex real-world problems require bringing together the knowledge, methods, and perspectives of different disciplines. One of the main reasons this approach has gained prominence in the education policies of many countries is concern about future technological progress and economic development. Individuals who lack a solid academic foundation and well-developed real-life skills often struggle to make up for these gaps in higher education and working life, which is widely regarded as a significant risk for the future of societies.
Nevertheless, schooling is still largely organized around discipline-specific courses and step-by-step instructional approaches, and the connection between school knowledge and real life often remains limited. Current education policies, by contrast, emphasize fostering students' interest and curiosity, nurturing their imagination and creativity, ensuring their active participation in learning, and connecting school subjects to everyday life. Achieving these goals calls for an approach to teaching that integrates the disciplines. Such an approach will help move 21st-century skills from theory into practice and enable students to become individuals capable of creating new products, technologies, and professions.
The Journal of Science, Mathematics, Entrepreneurship and Technology Education was born out of this need. The journal welcomes original research and review articles on science, mathematics, entrepreneurship, and technology education conducted at all levels of education, from early childhood to higher education, as well as with other stakeholders in education. Priority is given to interdisciplinary studies.
The FMGT Journal of Education is a peer-reviewed journal published three times a year. Manuscripts may be submitted in Turkish or English.
