Pamukkale University Journal of Education values education-based scientific ideas that will provide direction to global and regional developments in education and find solutions to problems by following the changes in science and technology. It aims to meet the readers with qualified and original scientific studies aiming to create educational perspectives that prioritize the integration of knowledge and skills shaping the future in education, and thus to improve the education system in the 21st century.

Pamukkale University Journal of Education (PUJE) provides high quality research-based studies conducted with qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods on disciplinary/interdisciplinary learning, career planning, professional development processes, family involvement in education and lifelong learning covering early childhood, primary, lower and upper secondary school and tertiary levels.

A) PUJE prioritize the studies as follows:
A1) Establishing the connection between theory and practice and supporting teacher training processes,
A2) Examining the development, management and supervision issues in education in depth,
A3) Transferring the reflections of students, parents, teachers and administrators in natural education environments to well-designed works,
A4) Evaluating local policies, programs and innovations from an international perspective,
A5) Helping to develop new educational models, measurement tools, interdisciplinary research designs,
A6) Integrating technology into learning environments,
A7) Multidisciplinary (interdisciplinary) and transdisciplinary (supradisciplinary) studies (such as STEM),
A8) Both developing and testing the usefulness of educational measurement tools
A9) Including the integration of technology that helps to develop educational applications,
A10) Developing and evaluating a new theoretical or applied educational model,
A11) Supporting the professional development processes of teachers.

*Even though the studies have the above features, those containing at least one of the following features will not be included in the peer review process.

B) PAUEFD excludes the following studies:
B1) Literature (literature) compilation and book analysis studies,
B2) Studies involving the analysis of textbooks,
B3) Simple quantitative studies carried out with only one independent variable (For example, the effect of variable x on variable y)
B4) Simple qualitative or quantitative studies conducted through only one data collection tool (For example, analyses based only on demographic variables, only through interview or scale),
B5) Studies based only on the opinions of the participants,
B6) Quantitative studies that were not conducted on a sufficient number of samples (For the sampling method, the accepted criteria in the literature should be considered and the minimum sample number depending on the population should be determined.),
B7) Studies measuring the attitudes, behaviors etc. of tertiary level students towards a course they have taken,
B8) Local studies outside the scope of international subjects (For example, studies for simple (non-international local focused) scale development and adaptation only),
B9) Studies outside the focus of educational sciences (Engineering education studies within the scope of STEM education can be accepted in line with the editor's opinion. If the disciplines in question are considered within the framework of education, they may fit into the scope of the journal. For example, studies that develop history education models and applied with students are included in the scope of the journal),
B10) Studies conducted with weak scientific method, with low validity and reliability (For example, studies without content analysis although it is called content analysis, studies with poor quality of quantitative/qualitative data analysis),
B11) Studies not clearly explaining their background and importance in the literature (For example, studies not explaining their contribution to the relevant literature and theoretical background in a qualified way).
