Milli Eğitim Dergisi

Aims and Scope
Journal of Milli Egitim is a reputable scientific publication dedicated to scholarly articles related to educational theories and practices. The journal covers a wide range of topics, from early childhood education to higher education, encompassing research related to students, teachers, educational administrators, and both formal and non-formal education.
The purpose of Journal of Milli Egitim is to foster the generation and dissemination of knowledge in the field of education. Through scientific theoretical approaches and applied studies, the journal aims to present, discuss, and share detailed information, issues, and recommendations regarding various components of the education system with a broad audience. It serves as a vital publication for the academic community, educators, and policymakers, supporting the effective development of education.
The journal publishes original, high-quality research on a variety of topics, including educational policies, curricula, teaching methods, student development, educational technologies, educational management, assessment and evaluation in education, guidance, and psychological counseling. Published articles are expected to be research-based, scientifically prepared, and innovative, contributing to the field with practical recommendations, addressing new and emerging developments, and offering solutions to current challenges in education. The journal welcomes both theoretical approaches and applied studies aimed at solving educational problems.
The following types of articles are outside the scope of the Journal of Milli Egitim:
• Studies in the social sciences that are not directly related to educational sciences or have a weak connection to education.
• Review articles that are only loosely related to education, lack a clear purpose or foundation within the educational context, or are not prepared according to the prescribed template.

***According to the Journal of Milli Egitim article template, articles should include the following sections: Introduction, Method, Findings, Discussion, and Conclusion. Although review articles may not always include all of these sections, they should present the research objectives, methods and techniques used, research findings, and conclusions. For example, in a review article, the method section should summarize the methods and techniques used (e.g., document review, systematic review) and the data analysis process. Articles submitted to the Journal of Milli Egitim are expected to meet these criteria.

Article Submission Guide
***The Journal of National Education is currently experiencing a high volume of submissions. As a
result, there is a substantial queue of articles that have either passed the review process or are still
under evaluation for upcoming issues. Due to this, the time required for a new article to progress from
the preliminary review stage to publication may take approximately 600 days. We strongly advise
authors to consider the possibility of a longer-than-expected evaluation process before submitting their
manuscripts. Please note that once an article is submitted to the system, in cases of rejection and
withdrawal, no refund will be issued.

the template are maintained. After placing your manuscript in the template, only remove the
yellow-highlighted notes. (If your manuscript is accepted, it will be published in its submitted
form. Compliance with the template is therefore mandatory and essential.)
3. Submit an anonymous full-text manuscript in Word format. Ensure that neither the file name
nor the manuscript content includes any names, surnames, or other identifying information
about the author(s). (When uploading anonymous article files to the DergiPark system, name
the file “Full Text_Anonymous.”)
4. Submit a named full-text manuscript in Word format. The article should include author names
and other necessary details in the relevant sections. (When uploading named article files to the
DergiPark system, name the file as “Full Text_Named.”)
5. Upload the Application Petition with complete details, including the article title, article type,
author names, authors' contact information (email, phone, workplace), and ORCID details.
(Name the file as “Application Petition”)
6. Upload the similarity report. Authors will be directed to the intihal.net to generate this report.
The full report must be uploaded in PDF format. (Name the file as “Similarity Report”)
7. Upload the Copyright Transfer Form. Ensure that the form includes the authors' details and
signatures. (Name the file as “Copyright Transfer Form”)
8. Upload the Ethics Committee Permission Certificate. If an ethics committee approval is not
required, authors must upload a document explaining the reason. The institution, date, and
decision number of the Ethics Committee Approval should be stated in the methodology
section of the manuscript. If no ethics approval is needed, the justification should also be
provided in the methodology section. Institutional or personal research permissions do not
replace Ethics Committee Approval. (Name the file as “Ethics Committee Permission
Certificate”)
9. For research conducted in institutions affiliated with the Ministry of National Education
(central, provincial, or international branches), upload the Ministry’s ‘Research and
Application Permission Certificate.’ If not required, authors must submit a document

and justifications for any suggestions that were not implemented. Upload this document as an
additional file during the revision stage.
- If a revision is requested, update the Article Metadata section on the DergiPark page after each

Copyright, Licensing, and Open Access Principles
Milli Egitim Journal adopts an open access policy. All articles published in the journal are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC 4.0).
Under this license, users are permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, print, and link to the full texts of the articles for non-commercial purposes, provided that appropriate credit is given to the author(s) and the source.
All published content is made available to researchers without financial, legal, or technical barriers, in accordance with the principles of open access.
Authors are required to upload a signed Copyright Transfer Form to the system during the manuscript submission process. This form grants the necessary legal permission for publication and regulates the rights between the author(s) and the journal.
In addition, the following sections included in the manuscript template must be completed and added to the manuscript file:

Ethical Principles for the Use of Artificial Intelligence
The journal of National Education requires that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in scientific
research adhere to ethical standards. AI can serve as a supportive tool in processes such as literature
review, language correction, and data analysis. However, the researcher remains responsible for
academic and scientific integrity. The stages and methods of AI usage must be clearly outlined. The
type, function, and scope of the AI tool used should be detailed in the methodology section, and the
accuracy, scientific validity, and ethical compliance of AI-generated outputs must remain the authors'
responsibility.
AI should not replace the researcher’s original contributions, such as hypothesis generation,
discussion, or conclusion formulation. Given AI's potential for bias, factual errors, and reliability
concerns, authors should be mindful of these risks and ensure that all ethical guidelines for AI use are
followed. If AI contributed to the research, this must be clearly acknowledged; failure to do so will be
considered an ethical violation and a breach of the journal's publication policy.
Ethical Approval
In line with regulations of TRDizin that came into effect in 2020, articles involving human participants
must include an "Ethical Approval Document" with the submission. Ethical approval is mandatory for
all research involving human participants. Information regarding the ethical approval status and the
approval document should be included in the methodology section of the article. Articles lacking the
necessary ethical approval document or missing this information in the methodology section will not
be considered for evaluation.
